but what positive thing can you say about a book that teaches
such blatant anti-hippo bigotry to impressionable youth?

  Actually, on closer inspection, I don't think she wrote two books, each
named after a different colour of hat.

  Hell, you can trust them to watch it even more when it's on your plate.

Some don't -- they're called vegans, IIRC.  In any case, the original
statement is wrong -- you can certainly trust dogs to watch your food,
e.g., on television...  And, before anyone asks, same goes for hippos.

  Dogs are under the mistaken impression that they don't.  Dogs aren't very
smart, and often confuse vegetarianism with veganism.
