Man Really Does Bite Dog

Ronald Bailey | July 5, 2007

The journalistic cliche "dog bites man isn't news; man bites dog is" has finally come true. To wit:

A MAN in Central China's Hubei Province is believed to have saved his pet dog from death in the jaws of a strange dog by biting the attacker to death....

Whole story in the Shanghai Daily here.

As a man who once downed a bowl of poshingtang in Korea, I think we can say that certain Asian cultures biting dogs is also not news.

What is really headline worthy is that the dog the man bit was uncooked.

Dang. My first "win" on H&R and I have to split it three ways...takes all the fun out of it.

I'm waiting for the class-action canine lawsuit. This scourge must be erased from our society. For the puppies.

jimmydageek,

Aw, shucks. I win enough threads, you can take my share of this one.

I'll take my prize in an extra large helping of poshingtang, with a side of kim-chee.

Could we open a new restaurant on the Potomac called 'Poshingtang DC"?
