You probably haven't played Monopoly in a while, and if you have, you probably used the old version of game tucked into the top shelf of your closet.
That said, if you've acquired a new set in recent years, you may have noticed that the Scottish Terrier has disappeared from the "Monopoly Here and Now" version of the game and been replaced with a hybrid Labradoodle -- a cross between a Labrador Retriever and a Standard Poodle.
So what happened to the Scottish terrier?
Actually, quite a lot of bad things, including jaw-dropping levels of cancer, and rising levels of inbreeding.
The clear message of the "Here and Now" version of Monopoly is that a modern science-based person will stay clear of dogs bred by 19th Century theorists, and will instead focus more on true canine health and utility.
