I just read War and Peace for the first time last year. There’s a section in the book involving hunting with borzois, and the narrator mentions that one of the characters paid a family of serfs for his best dog. He didn’t pay money to a serf family - the cost of the dog was a serf family. Imagine that sort of bullshit if you’re a serf.

Sounds right. There’s that British family that was caught underpaying their staff do much, they spent more on their dog
if i’m going to be sold for anything, a dog is probably the only option that wouldn’t make me feel miserable
so long as they take care of the good boy
Well, it was a good girl in the book, but don’t worry - she wasn’t treated like a serf.
Fuck’s sake those serfs can be trained to hunt too, what a waste
