Dearest Oreo, what a beautiful German Shepherd mix girl you are! You are so pretty, and what a touching story you have to tell. You were with your dear family to help bring them comfort after they lost their beloved shepherd Precious. It was a hard time for them, but you made it a little easier. You have the most delightful personality! You are quite the conversationalist, answering any question with a bark or a howl. And you love to swim in the family's pool! You and your family members all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Oreo, on being chosen today's Dog of the Day! We hope you and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats. We know that Precious Angel is rejoicing with you at the Rainbow Bridge!

Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
