from a recent chat with Cody's warden. . .

For the love of dog. . .

am i really the only person outraged by this spectacle?

you casual viewers inclined to take this in with nothing more than a fecklessly "oh, how cute". . . were you similarly disposed to images of prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib? or have you too been so spiritually castrated (as poor Cody) to care at all for the downtrodden -- man and beast alike?

Dog Blog's are hideously exploitative

Would you monetize a tribute to your grandmother, mother, wife, daughter? Would you relegate their being to the banal, crass, and ever so faddish pages of a web-log?

"Surely not", the sensible amongst you reply.

So then what of your immaculately inbred pedigree Vizsla? Is an animal not entitled to the same basic dignities as one's beloved human relations?

Friends, I ask you to stand with me in reclaiming the dignity of the dog Cody:
