recruiting takes place in peoples     
 yards,  or outside stores, or with a bit 
         of violence and trickery.        
                                          
 throw   the   fourleggers  into  a  van. 
 decode  them. sort  them  by species and 
                  taste.                  
                                          
 decorate  the  dog,  decorate  the  dogs 
 mind,  upsize the  paws,  or  the  whole 
  creature, frame a burroughs portrait,   
 sing a  tune about being brought to your 
 roads end and reborn as something  else. 
                                          
 you    can't    go    the   same    way, 
  unfortunately, though another path is   
 open. a grimier, grainier, more  painful 
 approach. hopefully bliss is at the  end 
 of it,  but  i don't  know.  might  just 
 ruin   you.   will  probably  ruin  you.
