This is definitely a portrait of our dog, "Lucky," who was acquired 2 years ago, from the Dallas Animal Shelter, by my wife—about 90 minutes before his appointment with the Dog Reaper. But it is also a science document.
He has turned out to be very smart, especially about climate science. Shown here, answering the question, "How can a dog feel like he is gloriously napping in the noon-day sun, in the late fall—if it is really the Texas summer, and 108 cloudless degrees outside?"
