I thought that /we/ were mean ...
... and I thought that hippos were *really* mean ...

Hey, I just noticed that the original story has been rewritten! It now
says the two ladies were trying to help the guide dog after /it/ fell into
the river! Google still shows the truth, though:

Heh, now I want to hear the dog's side of the story!
