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.
