We could be having a good or a bad day and Bear would give you a warm greeting that could melt your heart.

Thus went my first Court Day.I think I'm going to puke.

It's just me and my 6-month-old puppy. I am not dating anyone.

I wish I lived in your world, where it's sunshine and puppies all the time.

Lucky ain’t a puppy no more and he don’t bark for just any old reason. It takes a mailman, a squirrel, a car, a bird, a blowing leaf, or a tumbling scrap of paper to get him stirred up now.

He giggled like a puppy being tickled by a kitten wearing a duckling costume.

He ran from one side of the cage, and then back again, which was not very far. It was far only if you were a puppy.

Every bride is beautiful. It’s like newborn babies or puppies. They can’t help it.

There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face.

Dogs (like rats) are multitalented but they are also not very smart the way humans are. A recent book, devoted to the intelligence of dogs, is 250+ pages long (Stanley Coren, The Intelligence of Dogs: A Guide to the Thoughts, Emotions, and Inner Lives of Our Canine Companions, 1994). Interestingly, despite careful qualifications by Coren regarding definitions, the ranking of breeds by intelligence literally made newspaper headlines. We are obviously fascinated by the notion that dogs - or at least certain breeds of dog - might, just might, be really, really smart. It all makes as much sense as evaluating humans on our ability to sniff for bombs or echo-locate.
