My Brother Ate His Dog

By Jason Waldron - Wally the Web Guy

A couple of days ago I read an email from my brother, and I
couldn't believe my eyes.  While he was away from his family,
two of his brothers killed his favorite dog, and were
barbequeing the mutt by the time he got home.

Oh, a little back story.

My brother is in Namibia, Africa with the Peace Corps right
now.  He's living pretty far off the map.  Strange - they don't
really have a road to get to where he is, but they have power
and television.

You see, in the back woods of Namibia, there isn't a lot of meat
to go around.  So goats, chickens, pigs - and even dogs - are at
a premium.  My brother had been raising a dog named Ziggy, which
was one of the mangiest mutts you've ever seen.  He had stripes
like a brown zebra, and scavenged his way to a nice little
existence.

People around my brother thought he was crazy, because nobody in
Namibia treats their dogs very well.  At least not like we do in
the good ol' US of A.  Around here I see dogs walking around in
sweaters when it is fifty degrees out, and poodles with
manicured toenails. 

The fact that my brother was petting and naming the dog to begin
with was looked upon as a little odd.

So it came to pass that Jeremy (my bro) was away for the
weekend, and his two family members, a nine and a 12 year old,
decided that Ziggy had eaten too many of their chickens. 

Being young boys, they didn't do the nice thing, which would
have been to slit a dogs throat.  No, they decided to beat the
thing to death. Then toss it on the fire and chow.

Now put yourself in Jeremy's shoes for a second.  You barely
make it home before dark, to your metal and concrete shed that
you call home.

Then you see a rare sight - the fire is going with meat on it. 
Then you ask where the meat comes from.  And it's Ziggy, your
dog.

Yikes!

One thing about my brother is that nothing is going to stop him
from experiencing something 100%.  So when this Namibian kid who
had BBQ'd his dog handed him a piece to try, he told himself,
"I'm going to eat Ziggy."

And he chewed.  And swallowed.  And had some more.

The next time you're thinking about doing something a little bit
uncomfortable or out of the ordinary to grow your business, just
think of Jeremy and his dog.  He took a leap of faith that most
of us would never dream of doing, and is better for the
experience (at least according to him). 

We all have something that makes us feel uncomfortable. 

But it's important to push those boundaries to continue to
grow.  In these strange times of recession it's even more
important to make a commitment to growth.
