dogs chasing cars...

have you ever seen a dog chasing a bus/car/bike/cycle?? i'm sure you have, if you're not entirely blind or a goof... but have you really wondered why it does that??

is there a purpose to it?? what'll it do if it does catch up... i've had my fun watching bikes/cycles chased into sidewalks and gutters with the rider in unflattering positions... call me a sadist but at least i dont lie! not often anyway... i'm digressing again!

anyway, what does it do if it does catch that car/bus?? ask for a ride?? admire the engines or the tinted glasses?? it'd probably have peed if it were parked, but on a moving car?? i dont think so... so, the whole deal of chasing the moving car/bus seems purposeless...

i believe the dog wouldn't know what to do about the car/bus if it just caught up... maybe bark a little... but that's it..
.
if you looked at a dog chasing the vehicle though, you'd think it had a purpose... or why would it chase it so hard?? with the wild look of a marketing/sales guy set on achieving targets... and when the vehicle drove off or turned that corner and disappeared, you'd think the dog would be really, really disappointed... almost lie down there and die... but guess what...

it's just a few seconds of looking a little forlorn, a little puzzled... and the dog's back in the game... chasing the next thing that comes along... maybe it's just about the chase... and not about catching anything...

is there a moral to the story?? i dont know... i'm not really into morals and stuff... someone else's lessons somehow dont cut it for me...

it's not that i dont know right from wrong... sometimes, i choose wrong on purpose...
