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.
