Louie the Lip

Recently I spent some time at the pound looking for a dog. Every canine comes with a list of attributes and short-comings so the adoptive parents know what they will be dealing with.

The vast majority of four-legged best friends are perfect additions to the family. I have notice people gravitate to a dog that either looks just like them or emulates their personalties.

I came across the perfect dog yesterday. His rap sheet said it all. 1. Loves children. 2. Love's other dogs. 3. Is very, very, very friendly.

I said "Honey, I found the perfect dog."
My girlfriend took one look at him and said, "There is NO WAY we're taking that dog home!"

Sorry, Louie.
