Comments

"The Day the Animals Discovered Death" by Ed Bluestone, p.76 of the Jan. 1973 "Death" issue. Two poodles are in a jungle, and one poodle is saying "This is like being in New York. We may never reach the jungle boutique alive." The other poodle is indeed saying "Such is the fate of wild poodles!"
