Now this is a dog.
Wonderful dogs, and smart, too.
I've never met a dog I didn't like, though I've met plenty who did not reciprocate the sentiment, around whom I usually gave a wide berth.
I've got a runt Husky, at present, who talks, though with an admittedly limited vocabulary, mostly about what interests dogs. Even so, she has taught me more about stoicism than a concentrated study of Epictetus.
