There is this famous dog. He has signed hundreds of autographs, and I have them all.

He has hunted border to border, three states wide. He must have over ten thousand retrieves.

He’ll get you out of any jam. When a “Lassie” look-a-like walks by, he just lifts his leg and then looks up at me—he knows. I like to think he sees me as his biggest fan.
