What a sweet and funny story! Before I was born, my family had a dog named Boots back in the days when dogs typically were allowed to run loose. Every night Boots would go around the neighborhood and collect any shoes or boots that were just sitting around and bring them home with him. If neighbors were missing shoes or boots, they knew where to look first. I don't have any dogs now, but if I did, they certainly would not be allowed to run free. I think we all know better now!

Congratulations, lovely Ursula, on being our Dog of The Day! Even a Cat Person can admire you!
