Of course it can. It can even handle PATH_INFO setups, where the script
gets passed the content after the name of the script. eg, in your example
above you can have  /blah/dog/option1/option2/option3 where "dog" is the
name of the script, and the optionX's are passed to the script.

It's always a good idea to RTFM before you bag a product too heavily...
