Question: What’s more fun than one Newfoundland? Answer: A passel of Newfoundlands. There’s actually five Newfoundlands in this truck. Big, sweet natured, drooling Newfoundlands. What a mess. What an incitement to riot. Crowds cooing over puppies. What a photo op!

I told her not to put her hand in that cage. She said, “Oh, Tinker likes me. He won’t bite” And she slipped the bolt back on the palace door and crooked her index finger towards him. Tinker snapped at that strange digit, snaking his neck out, and [...]
