Just listen to the first 15 or so minutes of the second Disruption podcast. Wu talks about how after dog 1 died, she contacted a breeder and requested "the most ridiculous dog you have". She makes it pretty clear that she didn't want a well behaved puppy, and how she thought it was so endearing that this dog was going wild chewing things up. This is kind of an ongoing thing in her podcasts where she goes out of her way to describe how whacky and zany she is while her cohosts fake-cackle with laughter.
But you guys aren't wrong. She seems to see those dogs as 3 cartoon characters who just bumble around and it's so cute because they don't need a responsible owner or training, or shit like that. To her, they aren't pets, they're the fucking Minions.
