the dogs of los gatos

I overheard a woman at Trader Joe's yesterday saying she was looking for ground turkey for her dogs.

It's the truth that the dogs of Los Gatos eat better than most people in the world.

The 1985 film Letter to Brezhnev tells the story of an English girl wanting to emigrate to the Soviet Union to be with her boyfriend. They had met when he came to her English city on the ship where he was working.

At one point in the movie, when people around her can't understand why she would willingly move to a country where people don't even have food, she says something like "if you want to see empty pantrys, take a look in the kitchens in you own street". People were poor in Thatcher's Britain too.

The dogs of Los Gatos eat better than most people in the world, and they eat better than most people in San Jose.
