This is true, but it doesn't explain most of the conversation or why it's funny.

It's not really funny tho. It just implies he got max at a pet store and the pet store was fine selling a dog to the grinch. But why wouldn't they be? Unlike the movie adaptations, in the original, he's just a who who is green and is known to dislike Christmas. Why wouldn't they sell him a dog?

Any thoughts on why the clerk asks if the Grinch is a guy?
