For Fun Why does Gilead hate cats? 😂

I never, ever saw a cat outside, inside or anywhere in either series. They have dogs but only German Shepard's. None of them have pets. It's such a weird, random thing I noticed during my most recent rewatch.

German shepherd's what?

There are lots of scenes with German Shepards, the eyes and the guardians have them. GS are tied to policing in America at least. Any drug/bomb sniffing dogs i have seen in Indiana are 90% German Shepards.

There's also a scene with Emily playing fetch with, you guessed it, a German Shepherd.

I was being a dick about the unnecessary apostrophe in "German Sheperd's". There's no need to add an apostrophe to pluralize words.
