Trivia

Dobermanns are not hounds, but Pinscher. In another of Mr. Burns' anachronisms hound in Old English was the word for all domestic canines. Dog was just used to refer to a subgroup of hounds, but over 7 centuries later the opposite is now true. Releasing of the hounds remains associated with fox hunting.
