Mardi Gras Dog

Here in St. Louis we have the biggest Mardi Gras outside of New Orleans. A principle feature is the dog parade, in which dogs are dressed in silly outfits and forced to promenade about. In the spirit of authenticity, we need this poor pooch! After all, Bourbon Street has cabarets chock full of them!:

Doctors create first-ever transsexual dog

Russian vet surgeons performed a unique operation on a male dog, augmenting the animal's nipples with silicon. The operation took place in one of Moscow's vet hospitals yesterday. The animal was severely injured in a fight, when one of the infuriated dogs bit its genitals through.

Doctors said that they usually put such dogs down. "We will have to castrate the dog to save it from death," a surgeon said. The surgeons decided to make the unlucky dog their first extraordinary patient: "In addition to urethrostomy, we decided to make a vagina for the dog and use a little silicon for its nipples," the specialist added.

The dog is currently resting after the operation. However, the animal will still have the behavior of a male dog afterwards. However, reduced male hormones will make the dog show a lot less interest in a female.
