  I thought that /we/ were mean ...

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

      ... but none of us come anywhere /near/ as mean as a guide dog!

Don't hippos love water even more than dogs?

  Actually, the real problem with guide hippos for the blind is how to
arrange for them to be /leading/ the blind people, yet the blind people have
to be /in front of/ the hippo ...

  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!
