Agreed, agreed! A beautiful dog, a gorgeous setting...what a way to start the day, clicking on Pet Talk and seeing your lovely face Dude, you are simply stunning; we just don't see enough of your beloved breed around these parts nowadays! Thank goodness your English Setter brother was spared such an unspeakable, unconscionably cruel fate, Dude! No, the irony of that whole scenairo was not lost on me either The role of "dog" throughout history has been as "best friend," devoted companion and loyal protector; enriching our working and daily lives, in so many ways. It's clear that you Dude have exceeded all of those expectations in stellar fashion! Heartfelt thanks to your caring and compassionate family for providing such a wonderful life for you and your furry siblings. And to you Dude, for your big heart, welcoming with open paws, other dogs in need of a loving home. Gracious is the perfect word to describe you! Congratulations to you precious Dude on your well earned Dog of the Day kudos! Enjoy your reign as Pet Talk's "top dog" and each and every day of your blessed life! Hugs and kisses to you and all of the furry ones!
