Talk:Bummer and Lazarus

Literary Reference

Would it be beneficial to include that these two pups and their owner were "resurrected" in the Christopher Moore novels, Bloodsucking Fiends, You Suck, and Bite Me? The novels take place in San Francisco and feature a homeless man, known only as The Emperor, and his two dogs, Bummer and Lazarus.

Also, what would be the best way to cite this? Only The Emperor is mentioned in the articles for the novels in which the trio is featured most prominently. They do make a small appearance in the non-trilogy novel A Dirty Job, but are not explicitly referred to as dogs in its article. Would it be acceptable to locate a passage in one of the novels describing them and reference that? Thanks.

Bury who with honor?

"San Franciscans put up a $50 reward for the capture of the poisoner. A wit suggested that he be buried in a place of honor alongside other great men of the city." Did the "wit" suggest this for the dog or his poisoner? The general tone of the article would suggest the former, but the actual grammar suggests the latter. --Khajidha (talk) 00:58, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
