Tahitian Dog
edit- ... that Captain James Cook thought the extinct ʻūrī or Tahitian Dog (pictured) of the Society Islands tasted like English lamb?

Timely nominated. New article, long enough, interesting hook supported by multiple in line citations to authoritative books. Earwig is clear. No copyright or close paraphasing problems. QPQ confirmed. Picture is free of copyright, used in article and clear at 100 pix. Charming article. A little short on the typical dog stuff, e.g., temperament, uses, health. But it is an extinct breed, and there are presumably limited sources, which seem to be mainly written from a European vantage. But its all neutrally written. Glad that Cook didn't think 'it tastes like chicken,' which is not so surprising: these dogs were fed a primarily vegetarian and fish diet. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 11:18, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
