About a hundred years ago, they made cocker spaniels much better than they do today. Therefore, it is very important that I be given a time machine.
Time machine–>dognappings–>improved world.
First on my list is this little guy, obviously:
The Dog Fancier, December 1920
Taaaaaad!
The Dog Fancier, January 1917
Two images of Bob, another one worth criming for:

And there are so many more:

Get that time machine, and I’ll help you with the cocker spaniel kidnappings.
With two of us, we could snatch a few other breeds who weren’t yet ruined too!
