Sparky, the Non-Dog 

 

This project was a failure because I utterly
failed to make my point.

 I was making fun of people's tendancy to
empathize with an inanimate object
in the form of an electric puppy. 

 

 I was amazed and amused that my classmates
could feel the fictitious pain of this flaming
petrochemical contraption as dozens of real
people were sheltered under a bridge just a
few hundred yards away. 
 Far from making the point that this thing was
impervious to pain. I  only succeeded in
frightening my friends, one of whom vowed
never to let me play with her dog.
 I swear upon my childhood collie's grave,
no animals were harmed in the making of
this series.
