Dogs and Cats in Magazines: Cooking Light

Flabbergasted was I. . . .

Dumbfounded I was when I thumbed through the August issue of Cooking Light to find both cats and dogs! Who would have believed it!

Imagine my surprise to find, on page 71, a dog tongue beneath a dog nose and, barely seen above, two eyes - a seeming Pug advertising Cozio. Page 83 is a whole-page ad for the dog kibble, dish [sic] by Rachel Ray’s Nutrish line. StarKist Tuna Creations is featured on one page – do cartoon fish – tunas – count? The next page is all about Iams dog food.

Seems like a pretty doggy issue. Until I saw Purina ProPlan taking up more than an entire page and, finally, “Love means never having to say ‘leftovers.’” Yup, a beautiful gray cat selling Sheba cat food.

Dogs have the last say with more than a page reserved for DentaStix.

And the final score is: Dogs 5, Cats 1, Fish 1.

Oh, and a long article on bees and honey.
