Dearest Bruits, you are a marvelous Dogue du Bordeaux! You're so handsome, sitting up so proudly and nobly in that grassy field. That brown fur is gorgeous, and you have the sweetest face with those lovely big dark eyes and that mouth with the big contented grin, complete with white toofies! You're a big dog, and your deep, loud bark can sound quite scary to people who don't know you! You rarely feel the need to bark, though, because you're really a big softie. You love milk bones and getting your butt scratched in that special spot right above your tail! You and your dear people all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Bruits, on being chosen Dog of the Day! We hope you and all your familiy and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats, with a special milk bone and custom butt scratch!
I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
