For reasons I'm at a loss to explain, I've been thinking a lot lately what dog newspapers would have to say. Would they be informative from a dog's point of view?

Breaking news: There's a huge pile of dirt & old leaves in the Wilson's backyard. For those of you who've had baths today, head on over there to dirty up & show your owner who's boss.

Would they be more worldly & intelligent than we give them credit for?

Still, the American president is at a loss to explain his reasoning for keeping our troops in Iraq. Our own political correspondent, Rusty, traveled to the White House this week to ask him some pointed questions.

Would they have columnists that deal with "owner issues" the way we have columns that discuss pet topics? Would they exhalt us or crucify us in the press?

As I struggle with this timeless riddle, I hope to bestow some insight unto myself by giving Rocco his own voice. In the interest of important research, I've registered him for his own myspace profile & am keeping a blog of what i think he would want to say to the world.
