Picture of the week

A really massive invasion of adhered dogs populates the streets of every town by the Bay of Biscay these days. from Gijón to Bordeaux, in a plague or pest that seems to be regional, but no one knows where it came from.

The little quadrupeds may be seen forming a sort of train, sometimes consisting of three, four, five or even six specimens literally inserted like canine brochettes, spectacle that, in words of Aldonza Lorenzo, mayoress of Gijón, is "morally deplorable, and a terrible example for the children and the families".

On the other hand, the mayor of Bordeaux, Alain Puree, considered this authentical appropriation of the streets by adhered dogs "an indecency", because "we cannot take the children anywhere" and the other day "my daughter asked me what is that".

The reason of this behavior might come from the marine tides, which, for some reason, seem to augment the procreative appetite of these mammals 90 times, so that the pets are night and day anally intubated in a doggish row.

At this hour some towns started fumigating the streets to disperse the incrusted dogs, whose movements are extremely difficult due to their inseparable bodily agglutination, while some are taken to the respective municipal dog pounds to be separated with hammer and chisel.
