That tight ball they roll into for sleeping. That great big old shake after a bath. Old Yeller, Lassie, and Rin Tin Tin. The things they do to make us wish we were one of them— napping after a morning walk, sleeping by the fire, rubbing their backs in the grass. And the things they do to make us glad we’re not—carrying dirty socks in their mouths, finding something dead in the backyard, eating out of the garbage.
