         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,

 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.
