Romeo, oh Romeo, what a sweetie you are, and what a hunky one, too! You're so cute in your Valentine's shirt, which you get to wear all year round (though you actually tolerate it for a photo or two from time to time). You have the sweetest personality. As your name suggests, you are a lover! You attract and accept attention wherever you go, and you deliver kisses, especially to small children. They love you because you're low to the ground like they are. You and your dear people all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Romeo, on being chosen Dog of the Day! We hope you and your dear people and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats.

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