Shepard Fairey’s dog – a real tale to tell and a real tail to tell it with

Shepard Fairey elected a president. For his next act, he’s focusing on the joys of dog hair on your couch and drool on your collar. Via Andrew Schneider Investigates. More here.

Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s salute to the species here. Below, the ending, because I quoted from it in the headline.

The dog trots freely in the street
and has his own dog's life to live
and to think about
and to reflect upon
touching and tasting and testing everything
investigating everything
without benefit of perjury
a real realist
with a real tale to tell
and a real tail to tell it with
a real live
	   barking
		  democratic dog
engaged in real
		free enterprise
with something to say
		         about ontology
something to say
		about reality
			        and how to see it
					      and how to hear it
with his head cocked sideways
			        at streetcorners
as if he is just about to have
			  his picture taken
				              for Victor Records
		         listening for
				His Master's Voice
	and looking
		       like a living questionmark
				       into the
			               great gramophone
			           of puzzling existence
           with its wondrous hollow horn
	      which always seems
               just about to spout forth
			         some Victorious answer
				     to everything.
