Mans Best Friend
Submitted from Auto Racing Blog
I am suffering from a bit of writer’s block this morning. I came across the quill image and it made me think of Mark Twain of all people. He was once quoted as saying
Mr. Twain was many things, but his brutal honesty was his best friend. I think of the recent allegations against Michael Vick as purely horrendous crimes against dog’s, our best friends. Now I realize that Twain’s statement is not about dog brutality, but it says a lot about what some men are capable of. I just cannot imagine stealing someones beloved pet right out of their yard for the pure enjoyment of watching it get murdered by another dog. Vick’s plea of not guilty is a given, but if the evidence is true, the trial will make a mockery out of him and if in the end he his found guilty I hope the Federal prison term includes raising pups that become service dogs. But on the other hand this would allow him to feel his ego as he makes a statement in his own simple mind… “Look at me, I love dogs!!” Better yet… put him in a boxing ring with Hannibal Lecter.
