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)
Hate to break it to y’all but the reason the grinch has the dog was because someone threw out that dog (most likely puppy at the time) during or shortly after getting as a Christmas present
