I Have a Dream



I've been getting a lot of e-mails from readers, asking me what famous human leader from history I most admire. Well that's an easy one . . . and rather topical at present . . . I like Martin Luther King. You see, he and I are a lot alike. We're both non-violent and like me, he was obsessed with rights, Martin with civil rights and I with the canine variety. Just like me, he probably got bullied a lot when he was a boy, and being no fool, he turned non-violent, get it? He didn't want to get beat up, but he was still able to get a lot of things done, like that lunch counter thing and the voting, you know. And like MLK, those issues are important to me, too. I have a dream that some day all dogs, be they big or little, caramel or white, floppy eared or straight up will be be able to sit at the lunch counters with their owners and also be able to vote. I like that Ghandi guy too. He was also non-violent and got things done. And I imagine he too was beat up a lot as a boy, but maybe he was asking for it, wearing that diaper all the time.

Your post raises two interesting questions. How can you claim to be for canine righrs when you still speak of dog "owners?" You are stuck in slave mentality. You sure don't speak for the rest of us woofers. We want freedon, and we want it NOW! And how can you criticize Ghandi for wearing a diaper? You think you are better house broken that he was? Not likely. So stop this holier than thou crap, clean up your own crap and stop acting like an Uncle Tom, Tommy.

TOMMELE,
GET REAL. TAKE SOME GOOD ADVICE FROM AN OLD PRO. YOUR GREAT UNCLE, BENNIE. HE WAS NEVER A FIGHTER EITHER. DID THAT STOP HIM FROM ENJOYING LIFE? NO! HE USED HIS BEST BUDDY, IZZY TO DO THE DIRTY WORK FOR HIM. IZZY WAS A FIGHTER, HIS WEAPONS WERE HIS FISTS, EXCEPT WHEN HE WAS A WAR HERO. THAT`S ANOTHER STORY. BENNIE NEVER HAD TO FEAR WALKING THE STREETS AMONG BULLIES. IZZY ALWAYS CAME TO THE RESCUE. IF YOU CAN`T USE YOUR DADDY TO FIGHT FOR YOU, PLACE AN AD IN THE NEWSPAPER FOR A PROPER BODY PROTECTOR, IT WILL BE WORTH THE PRICE. THEN YOU CAM GO ON BEING THE LITTLE NON-VIOLENT GUY THAT YOU ARE.
