Good Morning Wilbur! Oh what a treat it was to see your beautiful face on my screen this morning! I can't believe you're a seasoned citizen, Wilbur! You're simply stunning, so hunky handsome in your thick, plush Akita coat! I'm sure it comes in handy during those cold Canadian winters! But as for those most "interesting" food choices of yours...I'm thinking you just have to be part Lab!

Your human's touching tribute to her best bud was just what I needed to warm my heart on this cold, snowy morning, Wilbur! ) Wow, not only are you the bestest friend a human could ever hope for, a gentle soul with a heart of gold, you're a hero too! Bless you for saving those two doggies for certain death! What a guy!

Yes Wilbur, you certainly are deserving of the title Dog of the Day! I hope you have an extra special, fun filled day, celebrating your reign as our "top dog!" Please have your human plant lots of extra kisses for me on that precious face of yours, and don't forget the treats of course, but no golf balls! Congratulations to you sweetheart! I wish for you and your proud, devoted family many more years of unconditional love and companionship! We love Wilbur!
