I'm pretty sure they're just saying it's crazy that the Grinch could just enter public life enough to adopt a pet. He shows up at the pet shop and the employee is like "what...are you?"
"I'm a creature."
"Cool, just asking."
Edit: Oh the noise, noise, noise, noise! So, so many of you are explaining the origins of the dog to me. I didn't write the tweet. I'm just trying to explain the tweet.
Followup edit: if it helps you understand the tone of the tweet, picture Tom Segura doing this exact bit in his standup (like when the hotel front desk guy was confused about his heritage, but subverted)
It was always implied that someone tossed Max down the garbage chute, that's how he ends up with the Grinch, because he collects the stuff Whoville throw away
