YOUR DOG LIVES BETTER THAN HALF OF THE WORLD’S CHILDREN

They used to say “build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door.” Now it’s more like “create some stupid way for bored people to pamper their dumb animals and you’ll get rich quick!” One of the latest trends which is making someone a doghouse full of money is bottled water for your pet. “Petrafresh” is bottled water which, the inventor claims, is “specially formulated for dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils, iguanas, pot-bellied pigs and even fish.” It’s probably made fresh daily in the toilet bowl of its inventor. Dog Yoga has also become popular, especially with the stressed out pooches in large urban centres, where dogs and their owners can stretch and breathe together before heading back into the city to defecate on the sidewalks. You can also now buy sunglasses specifically for your dog which keep out “100% of UV light and foreign objects”. And don’t forget that dog and cat owners can now implant their pets with a microchip so that you won’t have to plaster your neighbourhood with “lost” signs the next time your pet tries to escape from your tiny apartment.
