Basically, what do you like most about being a dog? |
| Spot: |
Well, you can sniff all kinds of things and chase rats. You can also bark a lot and howl at night. And if you do something wrong, you're forgiven quickly. People say "dumb dog" then forget it. Dumb people! |
| Tim: |
How did you find your master? |
| Spot: |
He found me . . . I was abandoned by my previous owner and put out on the street. One day while shifting through some garbage, my master found me. I guess he has a soft spot. |
| Tim: |
Does your master treat you fairly? |
| Spot: |
What is fair? That whole concept is defined by humans, isn't it? If you define "fair" as being kept on a leash, given the leftovers to chew on, and getting gelded I am treated fairly. |
| Tim: |
How do you deal with cats? |
| Spot: |
Generally I ignore 'em. Now and then I chase a few pussies, but that gets boring pretty soon. |
| Tim: |
You seem to be a mixed breed. Do people acknowledge your multi-ethnic heritage? |
| Spot: |
I'm not concerned with people in general, just my master. And my master loves me for what I am – a pure bitch that knows where to lick. |
| Tim: |
How much kinship do you feel with other canines? |
| Spot: |
I feel a deep connection with all dogs, particularly those used in lab experiments or sold for meat. So many of us get the raw end of the stick! |
| Tim: |
But isn't it a dog-eat-dog world? |
| Spot: |
A new age of Canine Awareness is approaching. More and more dogs are sensing their connection with fellow canines. And humans are so foolish – although they pretend to be top dogs of this world, they are pathetic muts. |
| Tim: |
Thanks for giving us some thoughts to chew on. |
| Spot: |
Make no bones about it! |
