None of my teachers were Walter Gadsden and noine claimed to be the boy depicted in the statue.

The fact that you took the story of a photo and extrapolated it out to mean that anyone who said they were attacked by dogs is a fraud and are perpetuating a myth says a lot about you.

Also next time link a transcript to the episode than the actual episode when you want to use audio to prove you don't know what you're talking about.
