When people relied on fire to roast meat, the spit was an invaluable tool.
However, turning a spit for hours wasn’t a popular job, so dogs were
bred
and trained to turn spits. “The first mention of the turnspit dog…was
in
1576…The long story short here is that people bred terrier-like dogs
to…fit
easily into these treadmills that powered various kitchen aids, but
primarily the roasting spit.”7

By some accounts, the poor working conditions of turnspit dogs in New York
hotels contributed to the founding of the American Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA).7
