Superheroes

 

This week, Discussions with My Dog pays tribute to the guys and girls who make it their business to save the world - Superheroes. They may not have a great deal of dress sense – most superheroes insist on wearing their underpants over their tights - but they make up for that with amazing powers and an unerring sense of duty.

Daisy’s opinion of some of your favourites

Superman – this guy has it all; the ability to fly, super-human strength, bullet proof pecs and x-ray vision. Who didn’t dream of having x-ray vision when they were 6 years old? The main problem with Superman is he’s too good - he makes all other superheroes a bit redundant.

Batman – remember the old Batman from the 60’s TV series, played by Adam West. He told corny jokes and could escape from the most impossible situations with an ingenious invention stored in his utility belt. Check this out
Then Hollywood ruined Batman by giving him a dark and moody makeover. Who wants a superhero who hangs out in an underground cavern, probably listening to grunge music and generally sucking the life out of everything.

Wonder Woman – Daisy thinks WW is very cool. Daisy would like to borrow her lasso of truth to find out where I’ve been hiding the dog treats.

Cat Woman – obviously not one of Daisy’s favourites.

Spiderman – not an ideal dog owner. Every time he stroked the dog, a sticky web would be left in their fur.

Incredible Hulk – what a rotten super-power. Say you are in the garden fixing a broken panel in the fence and you hit your thumb with the hammer. Next thing you know you’re waking up 3 hours later in nothing but a pair of knee length jeans (the £90 Levi’s that you only bought last week) and wishing you had gone for stretch fit and you’ve trashed the whole fence in your furious green rage.
