at the pet shop

a basket of colorful tennis balls sits at checkout. donate a tennis ball to a homeless dog today! urges the sign.

i envision a troop of earnest volunteers swarming onto street corners and into back alleys to disburse donated balls to homeless bored wandering canines. 

would you like to donate a ball to a homeless dog, the cashier asks with an utterly straight face. not today, thanks.
