Who is the object of the satire in this passage?
s
My father was a St. Bernard, my mother was a collie, but I am a Presbyterian. This is what my mother told me, I do not know these nice
distinctions myself. To me they are only fine large words meaning nothing. My mother had a fondness for such, she liked to say them, and see other
dogs look surprised and envious, as wondering how she got so much education. But, indeed, it was not real education, it was only show she got the
words by listening in the dining room and drawing-room when there was company, and by going with the children to Sunday-school and listening
there, and whenever she heard a large word she said it over to herself many times, and so was able to keep it until there was a dogmatic gathering in
the neighborhood, then she would get it off, and surprise and distress them all, from pocket-pup to mastiff, which rewarded her for all her trouble
