For those of us who love our dogs with all of our hearts in East Texas, it might be extraordinarily difficult to find anything about them that we DON'T love. However, there may be one thing that we would be willing to change--their life expectancies.
No, it is not because the aliens that are planning to take over our planet will be jamming up the systems so there's no way we can call for help when they arrive during the solar eclipse. (Well, at least we've not officially heard that being confirmed. Yes, I'm kidding for Pete's sake.)
Besides, if aliens were going to be invading our entire planet, who on earth would we call for help anyway?
