...when you see a lab (a breed I normally associate with rambunctious, bounding energy) pad gently up to a wheelchair and wait for a hand to reach toward it, and then poke its nose softly under the hand....

...dayum. 'scuse me, I gotta go wipe my eyes.

Someone chopping onions or something.

Try to be a bit more specific when you use the word "best".

lizards, turtles, frogs, snakes, birds, and ferrets as pets. Once, when I was a 10 year old in Florida, I even had a Cayman (crocodile) named George. (Back in 1960 we were less aware of how inappropriate and unkind it was to have a Cayman as a pet.)

But, yes, dogs are truly wonderful creatures.

Dogs are beautiful creatures, loyal to a fault and faultless companions. But I've communed with goats, chickens, raccoons, and even an owl.

that smiles like that? It's amazing what a dog can do to help a child, both physically and mentally.

What's the policy on dogs in Trump Tower?

"Trump International Hotel & Tower New York welcomes two dogs up to 25 lbs for an additional fee of $250 per stay. All rooms are dog friendly. Dogs cannot be left unattended in rooms. Cats are not permitted."

Only small dogs. The ones in the Italian hospital are all too big. I'm surprised he allows them at all. No cats? Did Donald get scratched by Fluffy when he was a small narcissistic prick?
