One of these dogs becomes a poet. At about 28:45 they talk about the form of the poetry, poeme pour une chein, which was created by Francois Caradec of a group called Oulipo. Embeded in each poem is the name of a dog, like "Max" is in the line, "The grim axe has come around." [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
