The Top Dog: Lessons from 22 Canine Companions

Is Charly the Top Dog?

Hm. I wouldn’t tell Carl that he wasn’t the Top Dog…

…or Spike, either…after all, Spike had been around the longest

and had to guard the house from those pesky cats

Sometimes, though, it IS about the last Dog Standing. If I had a medal, I would give you one, Charly. Would you settle for a major treat? How about a good memory?

Love you,

Your best friend

One thing I’ve learned from the 22 dogs I’ve had in the past 80 years: I was capable of both good and bad in those years, but my dogs forgave the bad and adored the good. I have been a lucky person.
