Truth In Advertising
Avery and I pass this sign every day on our afternoon walk.
To be fair, this isn't technically a fabrication. Still, it is a bit disingenuous to put a picture of a Doberman pinscher on your fence when what you've got is actually a miniature pinscher. Especially when you've also got a chihuahua which happens to be more likely to attack. I guess they're trying to boost his confidence.
The cavalier, wishful inaccuracy of this sign makes me laugh, but it also nags at me. What it needs is a disclaimer, something to make clear what you're actually getting if you scale the fence at this place. Something like this.
I'd write it on there for real, but I don't need the chihuahua biting my ankles.

Richard's parents have the same sign, only with a rottweiler on it...and that dog is definitely not a minature! Eight years and I've still never petted that dog. They always put him away when they have company over.
