He’s simply carried from start to end by his owner. We’ve all had a quiet laugh at this owner’s expense except you have to admire the sheer chutzpah of that dog: in refusing ever to walk, he’s reversed the natural order of things and should get his own headline in the work newsletter.

This lab here is where we’ve been experimenting with micro-dosing schizoid patents with LSD.
