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.
