         of violence and trickery.        
                                          
 throw   the  fourleggers  into  a   van.

 decorate  the  dog,  decorate  the  dogs 
 mind,  upsize  the paws,  or  the  whole 
   creature, frame a burroughs portrait,

 you    can't   go    the    same    way, 
   unfortunately, though another path is  
 open. a grimier, grainier, more  painful

 of  it, but  i  don't  know. might  just 
 ruin   you.  will  probably   ruin  you.
