Carbon, not only are you a very, very special dog and have earned the top honor of being Dog of the Day , but you have an amazing guardian who not only adores you, but knows how to help you to live your life to the fullest. The activities which you have shared with her, the time you have spent together, and your emotional and psychic connection are what life is all about, at least where those of us here at Pet Talk are concerned.

Dear sweet little Carbon, you have been blessed as has your mom. Thank you both for sharing your story. I think all of those people who read it will have the same big broad smile on their face as I do right now.

p.s. I have two 30 pounders who would love to do a little squirrel chasing with you if you are ever up in our neck of the woods.
