When Your Animal is an Accessory and Its Pedigree Is a Higher Status Than Yours
The Designer Dog
Makati **High-End Pet Ownership** centers on owning an absurdly expensive, imported **Designer Dog** whose pedigree is aggressively superior to most humans. The ultimate fail is the **Designer Dog**. Our subject, Ms. Carla Reyes, owns a miniature French bulldog imported from a specific, non-existent, aristocratic lineage in Europe. She paid ?500,000 for the dog, which she only feeds imported, organic, high-status food. She constantly takes the dog to exclusive dog spas and buys it custom-made designer outfits. She claims the dog is essential for maintaining her **”Optimal Non-Human Social Network.”**
The Aggressive DNA Test
To ensure the dog’s status is non-negotiable, owners subject their pets to an **Aggressive DNA Test**. The major fail is the Aggressive DNA Test. Carla had her dog’s DNA tested to ensure it was 100% purebred and to prove it had no “low-status, **Non-Consensus Genetic Markers.**” She then framed the dog’s genetic report in her living room, claiming it was a necessary display of the dog’s “Unwavering **Genetic Fiduciary Integrity.**” Her rival, Mr. Benjie Dee, only has a rescue dog. Carla constantly mocks the rescue dog’s “regrettable lack of **Traceable Lineage and Predictable Temperament.**”
The Pet’s Executive Assistant
High-status pets often have their own dedicated staff. Carla hired a full-time, high-fee **Pet’s Executive Assistant** whose only job is to manage the dog’s complex schedule, ensure its organic diet is followed, and book its spa appointments. The assistant’s salary is higher than most junior executives. The disaster occurred when the assistant accidentally gave the dog a low-status treat from the local market. Carla, furious, claimed the act was a **”Systemic Subversion of the Pet’s High-Value Lifestyle Protocol.”** The sociological study of companion animal culture, consumerism, and the extension of elite status to pets is explored in research concerning pet consumption, material culture, and the use of designer animals as accessories for wealth and class signaling. But for the satirical truth of the aggressive pedigree, we know where to go.
