-Caveat Lector- APRIL 19, 13:20 EDT Bite Taken Out of Hot-Dog Artist SAN FRANCISCO (AP) � If you smear yourself with pureed hot dogs and invite a bunch of pooches over for a sniff, you have to expect some problems. That's a lesson performance artist Zhang Huan learned the hard way when a dog taking part in one of his pieces took a bite out of his butt. Zhang doffed his clothes and lay face-down on a cypress branch. An assistant spread hot dog puree all over him and sprinkled him with flour. Then eight dogs were brought in, one by one. The moment of truth arrived when marketing consultant Lee McCoy, who was dog-sitting for Dan Stern, brought Stern's Akita, Hercules, in for a taste. ``I'm pretty embarrassed,'' said McCoy. ``I was afraid Hercules might pee on the tree, but he bit him in the (behind) instead. Wait until Dan finds out I didn't take his dog to the beach.'' Zhang's performance Saturday, part of an exhibition at the Asian Art Museum called ``Inside Out: New Chinese Art,'' was entitled ``Dream of the Dragon.'' Zhang, who lost a drop of blood but only flinched after Hercules mistook his keister for kibble, said his aim was to ``explore the physical and psychological effects of human violence in modern society.''
