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.
