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.
