New York Magazine Runs Poodle Stereotype

Much as I hate to be politically correct, I still felt annoyed when New York Magazine ran a story titled "Does Money Make You Mean?"  in its July 9, 2012 issue and illustrated it with a beautifully groomed male poodle first kicking dirty (and poop?) in the face of a "mutt" that looked like Disney's Tramp and then, on the next page, supposedly mounting said mutt.  I think this is very unfair as it suggests that standard poodles are given to the same viciousness as their owners which I find difficult to believe.  Perhaps that's because I have a beautiful curly girly who loves everyone and his or her primate.
