BURNING DOG

About Me

Geologists and Philosophers are divided as to the provenance of the included materials. It is even considered that the collective known as the "Burning Dog" is in fact the work of many people over many hundreds or even thousands of years. Historical characters as diverse as John the Baptist and the early 20th century Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein have been cited as possible contributors to the ongoing cult that is the Burning Dog, though clearly much of the work must be recent as it appears to have been created using various forms of modern technology.

It is generally accepted that the name "Burning Dog" has its roots in Gypsy Eastern Europe and that, in a bid to flee the persecutions committed in the name of religion during the time of the crusades or before (or possibly after), a group of itinerant gypsy musicians and artists made their way so far south that they reached Africa. While crossing the savannah south of the Sahara desert, they were confronted by a lion which, in the light of the evening sun and as a result of their never having seen such a thing before, appeared to them as a huge burning dog, the mane symbolising the flames of passion.

The trustees of the Burning Dog archive have recently applied to various multi-denominational Gods and latter-day saints with the ultimate aim of the collective being recognised as a religion.

They are yet to receive any replies.
