Friends here have a Basset hound named
Sebastian, for obvious reasons. Lovely dog, but Bassets know their own minds. One day Wife was telling the dog, over and over, in dulcet tones "
Sebastian, go to your basket; go to your basket,
Sebastian" until Husband got fed up and gave a basso profundo bellow of "Basjan, lie down!", which the pooch instantly did. Regality had clearly been wasted on him.
