As you know, we all hate dogs. Chairman Fujimoto-san, President of Kobayashi Pharmaceutical. You secretly introduced mega-quantities of infected fleas and contagious tick-larvae into a metropolitan city center, creating an unprecedented animal-disease out-break. Thank you. General Yamatachi-san, Commander of the Megasaki Municipal Task force. You oversaw the deportation of over 750,000 caged-animals to a nearly uninhabitable off-shore refuse-center. Good work. Supervisor Kitano-san, Director of Kobayashi Robotics. You developed the most promising artificial life-form in the history of corporate-technology, and a powerful new weapon, to boot. Well done. Yakuza Nakamura-san, Head of the Clenched-Fist Gang. You eliminated all Pro-Dog opposition through the use of bribery, extortion, intimidation, and violent force. My compliments. Brains have been washed. Wheels have been greased. Fear has been mongered. Now we prepare for the final stage of our conspiracy-theory: the permanent end to the Canine Saturation-Crisis.

Thank you, Editor Hiroshi. You all know me. I speak my mind, and sometimes that ruffles some feathers. Please, forgive my bluntness. Mayor Kobayashi is a crook, and I hate him. Right now, he faces a divided congress during a hotly-contested re-election year. Dogs are dying on a miserable island. Gullible masters have been brainwashed. The Science-Party Candidate is being held against his will with no recourse to legal counsel.

I've been hunted by dog-catchers all my life. I'm not easy to trap. I've only got three captures on my record where I actually got sent to the pound, I mean, and the first two times, I escaped within 24 hours, but the third time... I got adopted before I could finish digging the break-out-tunnel. It was a big family. Five kids. Two other dogs, already. They stuck me in the back of a station-wagon and drove me out to the middle of the sticks. Grass, trees, swimming pool. Cartoons on TV. Anyway, one morning a week later, the youngest boy, his name was Toshiro, woke me up at 6:15, bright-eyed, wide-awake, and he tried to pet me.

You're a stray, aren't you? Yes, I'm a stray. But aren't we all? In the last analysis, I mean?

Science-Party Candidate Professor Watanabe has been placed under house-arrest today at Toho Mountain Ryokan after offering sharp criticism last night of the Kobayashi Administration's Canine Saturation-Crisis policy: Foreign-exchange student Walker.

As you know, most of the animals on this island come from human homes with domesticated back-grounds. However, a small population of savage, aboriginal dogs have been scavenging the Metropolitan Dumping-Grounds for nearly a decade. The graffiti on this wall depicts the story.

If Spots has preceded me into the next life, I ask that everything, including my own bones and Spots' carcass, be burned in a crematory furnace, with our ashes scattered to the four-winds. It will not amount to much pollution in this sad land. If I survive, ignore this message.
