Said Mr. Barker, ìAfter years of joylessly brow-beating people into spaying and neutering their animals, I had a revelation after hosing down some dogs doing it on my front lawn. To control the pet population, weíre basically treating our furry little friends like criminals and castrating them just cause they wanna have a little fun.. Using 'Doggie Styles' is far more humane than neutering, 'cause sometimes Fidoís like you and me. He just wants a piece of tail to spice up his day every once in awhile.î

"Doggie Styles," which claim to help prevent pregnancy in 95% of all doggie sexual encounters, will feature Bob Barkerís likeness on the box and come in a wide range of sizes (from Chihuahua to Great Dane), as well as a variety of styles like: regular, ribbed, and "liver-flavored for her pleasureî.

Ralston Purina has sunk many years and millions of research dollars into the field of dog contraceptive devices and settled upon the idea of a poochie prophylactic after early experiments with a Doggie IUD and Doggie Diaphragm proved less then successful.

ìDoggie Stylesî will be sold at pet shops and vending machines placed alongside dog runs in the next several weeks, but there already seems to be mounting negative reaction among some consumers.
