OFF LEASH: On Dogster
"Off Leash" is an occasional column by Fiddler. Past columns can be found here.
In this morning's New York Times, there is an article about Dogster, a social networking site for dogs. Most people, no doubt, will see this site as a cute diversion. "Oh look! Mr. Fluffers has his own web page! How precious!"
I, however, view it as yet another example of the mindless personification of canines. We are not people; we are dogs. If you wish to waste your time "friending" total strangers, or giving each other virtual "pokes," then that's your business. But leave us out of it.
Okay, fine. Go here if you want to leave me a virtual bone or become my "pup pal." I give up.
