It's a Dog's Life

So you might as well enjoy it

Lessons in Assertiveness

by Sparky, the Wonder Dog, a/k/a Dr. Sparkus T. Mutt

edited by P.V. Alvarado 


First Dog


Dear Doctor Mutt,


I see that the world’s greatest newly-elected leader is not only preparing to take the helm of a great nation, but will also welcome a new member to his family, namely a 1st mutt!

Well, I offer myself for this position. I am a pure-bred MUTT. My dad, according to my mom, has a blood-line from Europe, Asia and Africa; and my mom encompasses all one could wish for from the New World. Who could ask for more? I’m hypo-allergenic and ready for action! The nation needs me. Please pass on my credentials.

Destined to Greatness in D.C.

Dear Destined,

I will certainly pass on your credentials to the White House, but I must warn you that you and every other mutt in the universe is clamoring for that position, so I wish you all the best, as I do the new occupant to the “Hot Seat” in D.C.
