Hello and welcome to the travel cast episode 390. The travel cast is a weekly

audio fiction magazine that brings strange stories by strange authors to strange listeners such as yourself.

I'm your host, Norm Sherman.

This week on the treblecast, we're talking dogs,

and no, I don't mean an acute 1980s talking kitty and dog Milo

and Otis kind of way which by the way I saw part of that again the other day and

it's basically the road by Cormac McCarthy hopeless post

apocalyptic travel type movie for domesticated pets. Man I don't know if you've ever

seen a pug you probably have but that's what Otis is, and that's what dogs

should become only after healthy doses of uranium fallout in the post-apoculips.

That's basically the worst dog you'd ever want to be forced on a long wild adventure

in order to get home with. It'd be like having to go on a cross-country road trip with an annoying

invalid Zoe Dashnell who requires a bed pan but still can unexplainedly play ukulele.

Just send me to hell already. What are we even doing here, folks?

Dog Companion Pro-tip, Milo. find one with a nose that can breathe air.

Pugs are like the linked in of the canine world.

You only know they still exist because your annoying friend still has one and gets in your face about it pretty regularly online.

They're dogs that flat earth theory people made up and were right about.

They need cute sweaters to remind us that they don't live underground and eat our dead.

They all need expensive weekly thyroid medication to stay alive.

And at any point, their eyes might just fall out of their faces and onto your rug.

Good luck getting back to F fucking Oregon guys.
