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.
