    Adorable show! I tune in every week as do all my friends so we don't miss any episodes.
    The dog is precious and the acting by all hits the mark. Such a smart witty script...the dog
    speaking of the very same issues/concerns that all us humans have to deal with as well.
    Bravo to all involved in such a clever and creative show. 'Luv it!
