The Coming Dog Wars

How much longer can this go on?

Someday I hope to write a blog post that doesn't complain about something. Sadly, today is not that day.

I just watched a brief amateur video posted on Facebook. It shows a woman coaxing her golden retriever down an enclosed tubular slide in a kiddie playground. The dog is on a leash at the top of the slide and you can hear it whimpering in fear as the woman says such empowering things as, "Good girl." Meanwhile the woman is filming the preposterous event so she can then post it online and in some twisted way feel better about herself. Finally the dog goes down the slide and is met by the woman's other dog at the bottom of the slide. The video has been seen by 5,815, 836 viewers who all seem to "Like" it.

This woman is obviously mentally ill, as are many dog owners who leave their animals trapped in hot cars in summer and freezing cars in winter, dress them up in foolish Halloween costumes, make them do all kinds of stupid pet tricks and generally treat them like toys put here on Earth for their own pleasure. I can't wait for all the dogs to revolt, organize and fight back. Surely they will eventually.
