 throw  the   fourleggers  into   a  van.

 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.
