Racism Against Dogs
I was recently the victim of two verbal attacks by people who don’t like dogs. I did nothing to deserve these attacks. I was merely minding my own business, being cute and friendly.
The first happened just at the edge of dog beach, an off-leash park where dogs are allowed to frolic and swim. I was drying myself off in the grass when a mean man ran by and yelled "That thing should be on a leash!" Fortunately he was jogging in the direction of my poop.
The second incident happened later that day at a auto dealership where my friend took his car in for a tune-up. We were waiting outside, reading the paper (I gotta be honest, I just don’t get why that cat Garfield is considered funny) when a mechanic walked by and hissed, "I don’t like dogs. They’re against my religion."
What religion is THAT? Religions against pigs I’ve heard of, but dogs? He must’ve been a member of one of those psuedo-faiths, probably started by a gang of feral cats in the basement of some chlorine factory. We dogs are as religion-friendly as an animal can get. Dog is God backwards, remember? They don’t print that on bumper stickers for nothing.
Once again a human looked down on me for no reason other than I’m a dog. Humans must be jealous of us. I guess I would be too if I were one of them. After all, I spent my day frolicking at the beach with the wind in my hair while he spent the day under a car getting grease in his.
Living well is the best revenge.

Lucky, except for that crack about the Great Garfield, one of my real true heroes, you sound like an OK guy! I’m not as against dogs as some of my brothers and sisters, especially when it’s the neighbor dog Reba, who I love to chase. In fact, if you dogs weren’t so mean to us, we cats would be glad to pal up with you! Some of us do! Now don’t let those nasty humans get you down; they’ve messed up the world, and one day we’ll have to straighten it out for them. We might even cooperate!
Racism is a terrible thing. I feel your pain. I know, because people mumble “look at that ugly bird” when they see my face. As if they aren’t twice as ugly (or, as some alien on Star Trek once called them, “ugly sacks of mostly water"). Don’t feel too bad, Lucky, look, we don’t even rate a Bird Beach!
WHAT? “Pseudo-faith,started by a gang of FERAL CATS in the basement of some chlorine factory” WHAT???What were you sniffing prior to making that statement?Personally, I think it’s a racist remark - you are a big, black dog. In movies, you are the spawn of the devil. That’s probably what the guy was thinking. Feral cats do not form gangs, nor do they hang out in chlorine factories,it’s bad for the skin and the olfactories. Where do you get this stuff?
Lucky, it’s not because you are a dog, it’s a color thing. You are BLACK and that represents evil. I should know, ever hear anything good said about black cats? Me neither. I too, have to put up with that garbage. These weird humans think I only come out once a year and ride on a broomstick with a witch. Humans fear that which they don’t understand. All those fairy tales they heard as children just wharped their tiny delicate brains. There is no logic to their thinking or fears.
