Two weeks ago I carefully swabbed J's slobbersome cheeks to collect a sample of his genetic material, then lovingly wrapped the Q-tips in their official! sterilized! envelope! and put them in the postman's capable hands.
When the certification arrives, it is explained thusly:
Level 1 breeds are those with which your dog shares more than 75 percent of his DNA. J's results were ...
DRUM ROLL PLEASE ...
nuthin'. Whatevs. He doesn't need to be a "majority" anything. He would prefer to be an abjectly insane mix of things. Good news, J!
Level 2 breeds are those with which your dog shares 37 to 74 percent of his DNA. J's results were ...
DRUM ROLL PLEASE ...
STAFFORDSHIRE BULL TERRIER! Or what is essentially known as the American Pit Bull. Go figure.
But wait! There's more! Level 3 breeds are those with which your dog shares between 20 and 36 percent of his DNA. J's results were ...
DRUM ROLL ahfergetit.
SHIH TZU!
Are you kidding me?
OK, you have a point. But still. Are you kidding me? I have a pit bull/shih tzu mix? A pit shit?
Jesus.
Level 4 breeds are those with which your dog shares 10 to 19 percent of his DNA. J's results were ...
BOXER! Go ahead and gloat everyone in the world who predicted this but me. I know you want to.
And also ...
ITALIAN GREYHOUND! Um ... kay ...
And finally, LHASA APSO! What the holy hoo hah is that?
So there you have it. The answer you've all been waiting for. Our beloved J, killer of squirrels, licker of butts, eater of anything that stands still long enough, is ...
a staffordshire shit box greyhound lhasa.
I'm so proud.

A pit shit. Only you. I immediately called my dad, who's been wondering about the ancestry of his supposedly 100% Scottish terrier with Greyhound-length legs. But nothing they could come up with for Dudley could ever match a pit shit combo.
Thank you for entertaining not only me, but everyone around me. You made my day.
