Dog Tales

posted by Jaitu at 17:41

Some years ago there was minor scandal in The States when a university photoshopped a student of ethnic descent into a promotional group photo in order to show diversity and impartiality. Far more recently there has been scandal of an even more minor scale in the U.K. where some Minister for Health (or similar) was added to a group photo suggesting he was present at a function he had in fact missed.
This very morning the company I work for sent out the electronic copy of the corporate news letter. Somewhere near the back page was a story telling how a dog had survived being hit by a car on a highway in America and the efforts made by employees to support the non-profit organisation that has been taking care of it. The caption that went with the photo was "[dog] poses with [woman]". I've removed the names obviously but the important part is that the Dog was posing *with* the woman. Even taking into account the sad fact that the dog is currently awaiting surgery to amputate a damaged leg I suspect that there is a certain falsehood to this picture.
See if you can spot it.
