Seriously? Not sure if you are following a joke with a joke, or not.
If not, then guess my form of hyperbolic humor has been lost in translation....
Animals in shows are often praised and admired, more than the actors, and can create some fun threads. (Jussi in Wallander and Isis in Downton come to mind.)
Sorry to report that I don't think the dog will be back. He will be starting his own series next year entitled "Drool."
Seriously I like this message board very much but there aren't a lot of laughs here considering the subject. Your post made me laugh out loud (or should I say made me LOL) because I though the very same.
