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.
