The Turnspit dog was once a common sight in kitchens across Britain and parts of Europe. These small, low-built dogs were bred for one purpose only. They ran inside a wheel connected to a spit, turning roasting meat over an open fire so it cooked evenly. Before motors and clockwork devices, this was hard physical labor, done for hours at a time.

Because the job was so specific, the dogs were bred with short legs, long bodies, and strong endurance rather than looks. They were often kept near the hearth and worked daily in inns, large homes, and bakeries. Some kitchens even kept two dogs so they could swap shifts when one became exhausted.

When mechanical spit-turners became affordable in the early 1800s, the Turnspit dog was no longer needed. Since the breed existed almost entirely for this single task, it was not preserved once the work disappeared. Over time, the Turnspit dog faded away, leaving behind only engravings and written accounts of one of history’s strangest working animals.

Dogs used to work harder than niggers and for some reason, we still have niggers around. Make it make sense.

Estrogen did more damage to the speed running community than crack cocaine did to Harlem
