On the subject of killer dogs

Sure we hear about killer dogs all the time. It seems you can't go an entire week without seeing a news story about a pit bull attack or an expose' about the dangers of rottweiler ownership. This is all just news fluff, any dog can be an attack dog if mistreated or taught to be vicious but, for the large part of the canine world, this is not an average compunction. News teams focus on these stories because A) they scare people and fear makes good news and B) these stories, even though over played, are believable. The vast majority of people find it simple to believe in stories about how dangerous dogs are and over look the fact that a dogs demeanor usually is the fault of the owner. These dogs do not worry me, they are just bad natured canines who are in a bad mood, for the most part some friendly treatment and a bit of kibble can change them into nice, if a bit quirky, four legged pals. The killer dogs I am more worried about are the ones who can control your mind. Take the example of the late 70's serial killer David Berkowitz. David claimed that his neighbors dog was partially responsible for the slayings but did anyone ever interrogate the dog? Not at all, in fact they over looked the dog completely even after the dogs owner, a Mr. John Carr apparently committed suicide during a 1977 hunting trip to South Dakota. No one ever considered the possibility that the dog, after feeling heat from the authorities, decided to get rid of his owner, who most likely knew of his powers of persuasion. Throughout history there have been several dogs that had learned to control humans and bend them to their dark will. These pernicious puppies date back as far as ancient Egypt, some historians believe that Anubis was nothing more than a surly jackal with a penchant for mind control. This could explain why so many mummified cats are found in tombs but one rarely uncovers a mummified dog, they could talk their way out of it. Have you ever seen pictures from Nazi occupied Germany during WWII? You will notice, in many of the photos, that there is a dog or two present, usually dressed in a very well tailored silk swastica. Coincidence? I, for one, think not. Want more evidence? Turn to the work of a Mr. Cassius M. Coolidge, an early twentieth century painter from upstate New York. Mr. Coolidge painted the famous, Dogs Playing Poker, as well as fifteen other paintings of canines in different states of what we call, Anthropomorphism, or, giving animals human traits and characteristics. Could these paintings be something more though? Perhaps they are an historical record of a clandestine doggie world that Mr. Coolidge was allowed access to. One of the most astounding paintings is Breach of Promise Suit, in which you can clearly see dogs testifying in a courtroom full of fidos. This shows that dogs may at one time, have had their own justice system, which has since gone underground due to human involvement. Was it courtrooms such as these that at one time in our history, would have punished dogs like the one in the Son of Sam killings? I, for one, believe yes. Look even now in Hollywood, USA at all the young starlets that walk down Rodeo Drive, small, shaky animals, riding in human drawn carrying vessels. As you pass them by, look into their eyes, the vacant stare of the human, the intense glare of the animal. The way it seems to be concentrating its will so hard that it looks like its head may shake right off. This is the power of the mind controlling dog. Now you are aware, do not fall victim.
