Drug Makers Find New Niche

If Fido is wagging his tail to the left these days you might want to sit down and have a talk with him or at the very least schedule a visit to your local pet therapist.

Researchers recently released the results of a study that show dogs are as affected as humans when it comes to things that disturb or displease them.

"It shows there is truly an animal-human link where emotions are involved," said one researcher. "A dog wags his tail to the left when it's apprehensive about what it sees, much like a mans penis, which when put into an uncomfortable situation will usually shrink up into the body cavity much like a frightened turtle."

The comparison further proves that when put into a pleasant situation such as having your belly rubbed, or running around with a beautiful bitch, the tail shifts towards the right side much like a man's penis does when he is so moved by something it will harden and stand at attention, he added.

Working on the theory of 'what's good for the goose is good for the gander' one drug company who already mass produces anti-depressants for humans has found a new cash-cow and has begun mass producing Prozac for dogs of all shapes and sizes.

The beef-flavored chewable tablet will be called 'Reconcile' and promises to move your dog through any emotional crisis.

"We decided to release this new product now to seize the moment so to speak," said a representative from the firm. "Timing is everything and because of recent pet food recalls we know that many animals are honing in on their owners anxiety when it comes to meal time. Taking advantage of a consumer who will spent enormous amounts of money on keeping their pet healthy is a sure thing for us and we expect to make millions on this."
