Somewhat related: there's a section in War and Peace where Tolstoy goes on about one character's prize hunting borzoi and mentions that the owner paid a family of serfs for the dog. I don't mean he paid money to a serf family for the dog - I mean that the price of the dog was a family of serfs.
Fun fact, Borzois three dimensionality is held exclusively by the interaction of their consciousness and an external observer. When Borzois sleep, they collapse into their real 2 dimensional shape, until snacks or walkies are available again.
EDIT: Not to be confused with Borzoi's zoomies state. When over excited they spin up into a 4 dimensional moebius strip.

Don't know what breed I figured Seamus was, but I don't think I would've guessed borzoi.

I owned 2 borzois; they're fabulous dogs. My vet used to take one home with him when she needed overnight stays.
