Dearest Mystery, what a beautiful girl you are, an utterly adorable Chihuahua! And what a wonderful story your dear person has to tell of how you came to her. She had been devastated by the loss of her previous service dog, her loving and beloved Angel. You were a gift to her from good friends, and you have given her back her life. (I think perhaps Angel the Angel might have had a paw in bringing you together!) Now you and she help raise money for groups that help animals. You even have your own three personal fashion designers! You and your dear person love each other very much, don't you. What a delightful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Mystery, on being chosen 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 games and treats. We know that Angel the Angel is rejoicing at the Rainbow Bridge!

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