In Thomasville, Georgia, a six-year-old golden retriever named Pepper relies on his family for food and shelter. Even though they provide Pepper with food, shelter, water, include him in activities and photos, he does not consider them as his family. Pepper told reporters on Friday “Hey, they’re not bad people, and I appreciate that they let me ride in the car sometimes, but do I think of them as my own family members? God, no”. He said this while scratching his right ear with his leg. He had no involvement of the O’Donnells adopting him and he spends as much time as he can in the backyard to not be around the O’Donnells. Pepper then talks about his family members. He calls them loud and obnoxious and how they are always on the couch and on their phones. He even talks about the family dad, Rob O’Donnell. Apparently he is a mess and cannot take a walk to the park without being tired. Pepper also states that he is not one of them. During press time, Denise O’Donnell made Pepper sit and beg for a while before letting him have the piece of cheese in her hand and that was when Pepper’s stance was reaffirmed. Dogs cannot talk nor express their emotions or how they feel to their family. That is exactly what is being satired. They cannot look one in the eye and say “I’m sad” or “I’m hungry”. Dogs can think a human is annoying as much as a human thinks dogs are annoying but at the end of the day dogs will always be loyal. The news is never 100 percent correct. They will exaggerate to receive the reader’s or viewer’s attention. They will try to make the people talk more about the news to others and then they will turn on the news or read online where the news companies will receive money. The article about Pepper also makes fun of that aspect. The article is 100 percent false and like other news articles. This is hilarious because dogs cannot speak and in this article it talks about what the dog said to the news reporters while scratching his ear. It also makes one think if their dog thinks about them like Pepper does about his family.
