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.
