I'm not a dog person, ordinarily, but this here dog is a star!

Not yet, but he and the guy behind him have been picked to star in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang on Broadway. Not bad for two street urchins.

1. Aww!

What a cutie!

2. Okay, DU. You passed the test.

You didn't fall into the little trap I set for you and repsond to my utterly mundane "copycat" thread called "This here cat is a star!"--a post intended, I confess, to test how cat-crazed we all are. I was wagering that someone would respond to that before this one, which actually is based on a real current event and a real heartwarming story about two dogs rescued from the streets who are poised for stardom. On top of that, look at the face of this freakin' mutt! Isn't he (or she as the case may be) freakin' adorable? Am I nuts for thinking so?

3. You're not nuts... that's a very cute dog face...

and a sweet story

6. Thank you.

If I were to have a dog, I'd want him or her to look something like this one. I love mutts!

4. Why is he eating my frisbee?

:)

He's an awesome pooch no doubt about it.

But how dare you criticize those of us who have cats (and reply to your thread about them). :)

[BurtWorm]

5. It's not criticism! Honest!

I actually happen to be a cat person myself! ;)

I was just testing a hypothesis. As I said in the other thread, I don't think you fell into the trap exactly because Quinn is similar (though much more adorable) than "my" cat.
