On the recordJune 27, 2000
the world's first canine travel agency opened in Austria. No joke. A company advertises health spas for Rottweilers, massage parlors for Dobermans, beauty parlors for poodles. If that is not enough to throw up one's Alpo, they offer a frequent flier program for doggy owners who vacation with Fido. Unbelievable. What is next, Mr. Speaker, fire hydrants on all 747s? Think about it, with children starving all over the world, doggy discos are popping up like beagle patties. Beam me up. I yield back all the rabies and fleas that have evidently constipated the minds of these rich canine owners who have simply gone to the dogs.
