101 Dalmatians
http://www.buzzfeed.com/chelseamarshall/101-dalmatians

I've long liked dalmatians, ever since the family across the street had Winkie. I've read about their having bad reputations, but don't remember what for, something about personality. Whenever I see one I get happier.

Meantime, you know I liked this one: the perfect corgi mix

Sadly, their reputation sadly is documented in statistics. For many years, they are on the top or near the top for breeds that bite people the most.

There's a photo slide show on the New Yorker site that is fun (to me) -

16 slides with Maggie on her trip (good backstory on this too)

And here is Sutter again. Talk about making me smile..

Sutter, California's first dog, stands by while Gov. Jerry Brown speaks to reporters after voting at a polling place in Oakland, Calif. on Tuesday, June 3, 2014. Brown is running for reelection for a second consecutive term and will likely face either Republicans Neel Kashkari or Tim Donnelly in the November general election.

ah, another photo, this time with Brown's wife, Anne Gust, walking the dog along side Brown.

Hmmmm, my Pacco corgi snapped one of those kind of leads with a jerk of his very sturdy neck. Plink goes the lead. It was at an intersection too, eek, but he came to me when I called him. Shook me up at the time, it did.
