Is this like a fish and a bicycle?

From the Metropolitan Diary column of the NY Times:

Some kids stopped me on the street a few weeks ago and asked me to buy a raffle ticket for a drug rehab center.

I bought one, and put my dog's name on the stub.

I just received a phone call that "Melvin" has won a steam iron.

In the printed edition there's an accompanying cartoon showing a dog ironing his dog suits, which are hanging on a line behind him.
