Annoyed and a little upset

We live in a 'brand' and image conscious society that still craves everything 'phoren' even if it is a non-brand in that country. From shampoo to toothpaste to shaving cream to deodorant we will gobble up anything that is expensive / branded / costs a lot of money. So even if the dog is cute and friendly, no one wants it - after all it is a mongrel / raaste ka kutta / junglee / mixed breed. So what if it is hardy, strong, immune to most disease and can thrive well in our climate. After all, it does not have a price tag attached it...
