The mad dog’s way to get discovered

Posted in Media Monitor by baryaal on March 5th, 2008

Yesterday, a one liner news item appeared on the daily Jang’s website: “Mad dog in Hyderabad, (Pakistan) bites 20 people…”  This is an achievement for a dog to be a small dog and take a headline, in the presence of so many big dogs who occupy our media all year long. So what qualities did the small dog posses to make this impossible possible?

  • Firstly, the dog was really mad because he risked it all by sampling 20 randomly selected human beasts for his fame.

  • He was good at math, counted his score, and got counted.

  • He was aware that biting too few won’t get noticed, unless he was biting Americans. Thus, he also perfectly knew which side of the world he was walking, and biting. 

  • He had some mass biting training and was sufficiently good at preplanning, for he got them all cornered God-knows-where and took them one by one.

  • He was dying to get discovered, and got discovered.

Missing Details

  • The reporter is silent on how he ascertained the dog’s gender, and whether the first victim was the dog’s boss L

  • No one knows what happened to the dog after his biting spree was over. I fear the worst L
