The “Salt Lake City Paw Tribune”, a local newsletter for pet owners and animal lovers, recently highlighted an unusual petsitting experience involving a man named B.O.B. and Benny, a massive St. Bernard belonging to Salt Lake City resident Rodney Bell.
In his glowing review, Bell admitted that he wasn’t sure what to expect when he hired B.O.B. through a newspaper ad: “He showed up with this rugged, wild look—scarred face, bark-like skin, and leaves in his beard—and this earthy, piney scent. You don’t exactly expect a guy like that to be your top candidate for dog care.”
Bell later learned that the heavy burn scarring across B.O.B.’s face was from a traumatic incident. When asked, B.O.B. mentioned being attacked by a group of teenagers who set him on fire for fun. “I don’t know if I believe him entirely,” Bell wrote in the article, “but whatever happened, it left its mark. The man’s been through something.”
Despite this, B.O.B. displayed an impressive bond with Benny, earning the massive dog’s immediate trust and affection. Bell noted: “When I returned from my trip, Benny looked healthier and more energetic than I’ve seen him in years. B.O.B. didn’t do anything flashy—he fed him, played with him, and kept the place spotless. For a guy who looks like he wandered out of an enchanted forest, he’s surprisingly dependable.”
While Bell sympathizes with B.O.B.’s scars and difficult past, he didn’t press him further about his story. Instead, he wrote: “What matters is the man treated Benny like family, and for that, I’ll always be grateful.”
The newsletter’s readers have been buzzing ever since. Some comments praise B.O.B.’s dedication and resilience, while others speculate on his unusual appearance and mysterious backstory. Several locals have asked for his contact information for their own pets. Bell’s final note sums it up well: “Don’t let the bark fool you—B.O.B. is all heart.”

On March 14, 2018, a little-known company named Gen-Wyld announced FDA approval for a groundbreaking procedure to enhance a patient’s primary and secondary sexual characteristics using gene therapy. The company was an overnight success.
Shortly thereafter, they introduced a suite of gene-altering body modification procedures that allowed patients to make dramatic aesthetic changes to their bodies by gene-splicing “non-human” anatomy. Those daring (and wealthy) enough can now add cuttlefish pigmentation to their skin, sport a pair of fox ears, and even add a functional tail. While rare, these so-called “modders” draw plenty of hate from conservative communities.
Thanks to their revolutionary procedures, Gen-Wyld is now a household name. Norman Carlson, Gen-Wyld’s chief evangelist, recently announced the company is in the trial phase for a groundbreaking treatment for diabetes.
Yet despite their success, a shroud of secrecy surrounds Gen-Wyld. Their no-patent policy obscures the secrets of their procedures from the public eye. Financial experts claim that Gen-Wyld is run less like a traditional business and more like an NGO with some specific, unknown objective.
Some claim that they will not stop until humanity has been reduced to monstrous slaves and that Gen-Wyld’s board of directors will install themselves as inhuman overlords of the new world order.
However, until the true secrets behind Gen-Wyld are discovered, the genetic biotech firm will continue to grow, develop, and progress its grand designs.
