“Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog” : The Final Cut: What Makes Me Sad and Angry: “Planet of the Dogs”? Dillie the Westie and I Love Truffle Pizza! Chapter Fifty Seven (57)

Many humans are kind and compassionate towards dogs but unfortunately there are many cruel and nasty ones that hurt, abuse, kill, ignore or try to intimidate us. Why are these humans so evil? We surrendered to your care thousands of years ago to protect, hunt and serve you. We are compassion dogs, police and army dogs, narcotic and bomb sniffers, healing dogs. service dogs, animal herders and guide dogs for the blind. But pardon me so many of you humans are ASSHOLES. We have a social contract with you humans. In return for our services to you we want and DESERVE respect, love, decency and care. But some of you are worse than the animals you think are below you. You beat us. You eat us. You abuse us. You kill us. You ignore us. You chain us. You starve us. What is wrong with you? I can only hope when your time is done on earth when you go to The Land Beyond that Allah, Jesus or Buddha or whatever God you believe in will treat you as you deserve to be treated. Some of you humans are so low you make me sick and angry. Most of you give us the respect we deserve. Thank you and may you be blessed.

You humans are frequently idiotic killing each other in the names of Allah or Christ. Terrorist bombings in the name of Allah. Who perverted Allah’s name to justify such atrocities? Who sanctions drone attacks and chlorine bombings of hospitals and innocent civilians in Syria? You humans say it’s a dog-eat-dog world but believe you me dogs would not do to each other what you humans do to each other. It is bad enough what you do to us dogs but what you do to each other makes me sick. I often put my paws over my eyes when I watch the BBC news with Fay because you humans were given the earth to prosper and co-exist with other species in but instead you are destroying it and yourselves. Dare I say it but could it be if dogs ruled the world it would be a better place. No not a “Planet of the Dogs” a la Charlton Heston but a caring and compassionate world.

Of course, I could devise a long list of what makes me sad and angry but I am too sad and angry to continue.

This COVID plague has been a blessing for us dogs! You must stay with us all day. No dog walkers and hours of loneliness. If matters ever return to “normal” many of us will not know what it is like to be left alone for so long!

Of course, dogs do not get COVID! Perhaps we are not so inferior as many of you think. Perhaps it will soon be “Planet of the Dogs”? All the humans have been felled by the plague. Didn’t Moses and God do a number on ancient Egypt! Perhaps God is doing a plague number on humans?

Tomorrow Dylan the Westie and I are going to Niagara-On-the-Lake for three nights. This will be our second overnight trip there for us. I love Niagara Falls and especially when Bob holds me and Dylan the Westie over the rails looking at the Falls and we get that spray al over our snouts! I love the walk along the river leading up to the Horseshoe Falls but we will need our coats as it is winter.

We are eagerly anticipating this adventure. I love Niagara Falls and Bob and Fay may pick up some pizza at Two Sisters winery restaurant called Kitchen 76 and we will get some delicious chunks. I mean what dog wouldn’t love a piece of their truffle pizza.
