Medieval paintings of dogs that leave me with questions...

Welcome to day six of the 12 Days of Blogmas!

I thought we'd take a break from Christmas themed posts today and focus on some burning questions I have about these medieval paintings of dogs.

Has this guy ever checked his dogs for scoliosis? Also, WTF is going on with the two idiots looking and falling into those wells?

Have these people ever SEEN a dog before?

Exactly how big were dogs back in the middle ages? And why does this blue one look like he's coaching this guy through a painful shit?

And lest you think this begins and ends with dogs: who cursed this man to live as a cat for all eternity? Because that's the only explanation for this nightmare fuel.

And don't even get me started on this cat. Whoever painted this needs Jesus.

Also, were monster bugs a thing back in medieval times? Or was this just one of the ten plagues?

Who thought it was funny to let the cat take a bong hit?

And who's going to break it to this dog his violin bow is broken?

No. Just... no.
