Dearest Pepper, you are so very precious, indeed! What a beautiful Terrier-mix doggy you are, and what a delightful story you have to tell! You were fostered by your dear Mom-to-be and turned into a foster failure when she realized you were meant to be part of the family! You walk by her unleashed but never leave her side. You cuddle with her while watching TV at night, your muzzle snuggled up under her neck. And you make a terrific companion for 13-year-old Princess while Mom is at work. You've given Princess a new lease on life, as she appears to be feeling and acting better! You and she and Mom all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Pepper, on being chosen Dog of the Day! We hope you and your dear Princess and Mom 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.
