My goodness, dearest Hana-chan, what a beautiful dog you are! Your coat is so pretty, and you have the sweetest, most friendly face! What a good friend you are to your dear Person, too. Now that you are with her, she is no longer lonely! I wish I could reach through the screen all the way around the world to Takasaki Shi, Japan to pet you! But I can't, and I know your loving and beloved human friend will pet you for me .
Congratulations, darling Hana-chan, on being selected today's Dog of the Day! We hope you and your dear person and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite treats and games.
