It has truly gotten bizarre here; my town recently built a “bark park” a short distance from playing fields, and you can see the foreign kids playing soccer in one spot and Americans taking their dogs to the other. They even had a goofy sign for a Halloween parade for the dogs.

In the interest of transparency, I have one outdoor dog. Interesting you made that statement. I campaigned door to door this summer in my county. I came home one evening and told my wife, if something gets in the air and weaponizes the dogs, we will ALL be dead in this county. Many times, a knock on the door elicited multiple barks from inside the house. People that were home, were fighting back the dogs from the door.
I have said history will look back upon us as round people with white teeth. They will find us with a dog under our arm too.
