Bye Bye, Bruce

In a few days, Bruce shall be boarding a plane bound for India. It isn't exactly what he planned to do all this time. After a wonderful career here in the Philippines, decorated with various awards to have him claim the top recognition in his class, fate would lead him to a place far, far away from home.

It seems so ruthless for his bestfriend and constant companion to let this happen. His bestfriend would let him go for the price of USD 7,000. In a way, his bestfriend owns him, and so would have the right to sell him for any price. Business is business. Emotional investments shouldn't get in the way of these transactions.

Business is business. 7,000 US dollars. Everything has a price.

bruceBruce is the Philippine champion bulldog. He has the various dogshow awards to back it up. And various satisfied clients will attest to his top billing as a champion bulldog stag. Now, someone from India wants his bloodline. And that someone is willing to pay 7,000 US dollars - the price of a decent second-hand car - just to have him. Amazing!

And Bruce, the lucky bastard, will continue humping his way halfway around the world.
