were traveling in Asia; they were the sort of people who make no
attempt to speak other languages, and expected instant service, hand

fed by the restaurants and hotel dining rooms patronized by the
couple.

	In one remote spot they were steered to a restaurant for
dinner, and it turned out that no one there spoke English.  They
ordered by pointing to unknown things on the menu, and indicated by
gestures that the poodle had to be fed, too (chomping motions,
pointing to mouth, pointing to dog, etc.).  Comprehension finally
dawned on the waiter, and he led the dog away, presumably to feed it
in the kitchen.

the dog on a platter, nicely roasted and garnished...
