Not All Dogs are Smart

I am currently reading My Life in Dog Years by Gary Paulsen. In this book, Paulsen writes all these stories about the dogs that he has had. Chapter one, Cookie saves his life by pulling him out of the ice. Chapter two, Snowball saves him from a deadly snake. Seeing a pattern anyone? Basically, the author would be dead if it wasn’t for his wonderfully smart dogs. What about my dog? Well, the other day he ran through the screen door to chase some geese. He may not be the smartest dog in the world and he definitely couldn’t save me from drowning or getting killed by a snake but I think I love him all the same, all twelve pounds of him.
