Dr. Strangedog
June 23rd, 2009Some dogs don’t even need a mirror to take issue with themselves. I’ve heard of bone envy but this is ridiculous. Or is there a more sinister explanation? I’m reminded of Peter Sellers’ role in the seminal movie Dr. Strangelove, in which he played an ex-Nazi physicist acting as scientific adviser in the President’s war room. Strangelove’s gloved hand would frequently begin to rise into a Nazi salute of its own accord, provoking a fight with his other, non-Nazi hand which would frantically attempt to stop it.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m susceptible to a little bone-related paranoia myself and if the marrow is still nice and soft then anyone who comes within 5 yards of me better have a good excuse (an even bigger, juicier bone for instance). But I draw the line at brawling with my own appendages. This dog is going to be soooo embarrassed when they play this video back to him later. And I think someone’s going to be fitted with a plastic cone before the week’s out……
