YOU DON'T HAVE TO  BE A "DOG PERSON" TO TRULY
APPRECIATE THIS STORY 

I pulled into the crowded parking lot at  the local shopping
centre and  rolled down the car windows to make sure my
Labrador Retriever pup  had fresh air.

She was stretched  full-out on the back seat and I wanted to impress
upon her that she  must remain there. I walked to the kerb backward,
pointing my finger  at the car and saying emphatically,
"Now you stay. Do you hear  me?"

"Stay!  Stay!"


The driver  of a nearby car, a pretty young blonde,
gave me a strange look  and said,



Why don't you just put the handbrake  on'?"
