From the doglike life of the tiger

The Tiger has just arrived in Berlin from a distant land. He is very surprised to see that people here often treat the dogs better than their fellow human beings. The dogs go to the barber, there are dog kennels, dog vacation, dog runners, dog restaurants, dog playgrounds and even a lot of dog paradises. People cuddle romantically on park benches with their dogs, kisses in the sunset, and many a dog even has a fur coat with cashmere collar, four lined shoes, socks, diapers and his own stroller.

But the Tiger recieves none of this treatment, no one feels sorry for him, so he has decided he would like to become a dog too. He goes to a dog psychologist, dog homoeopath, dog-hairdresser, trying everything dog-possible. Will he be able to find happiness when he become a pet in the dog fur?
