Creeping bilingualism!

This ad appeared in the Macon (Missouri) Chronicle Herald:

"WANTED
DOG
Male Preferred
Must be of Collie Strain and be
able to lip-read and be bilingual."

Probably wants a dog that can speak Spanish to the maid, the nanny, and the yardmen. Oh WHEN will this country make English monolingualism a Constitutional amendment?

And this overlooks the rank gender bias (Male preferred) and doggy racism (Must be of Collie Strain).
