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.
