Many years ago, during our Bohemian, first-married days, my husband and I had to trek through calf-deep snow to a gas-station a good mile away for car-repair stuff. We thought we were doing our little terrier a favor by including her on our “adventure”. Then I noticed, when we were almost there, that there was blood on the snow. The cold snow was too much for her paws. So up she came, and I carried her most of a mile, through the snow, back home while hubby continued on our mission. No hero me. I should have noticed sooner, poor baby!
Look at the tip of Rover’s tail in the last panel! Dogs always seem a little embarrassed at such attentions, no matter how much they appreciate them. But there was a “The Other Coast” in which one of the dogs, observing a human clear eye buggers from their furry friend’s face, “Wow! Now THAT’s love!” Yes. Yes, it is; and that’s just the way it is ’twixt humans and dogs (or oughta be, anyway!)
This strip is one of three I love: “Red & Rover”, “The Other Coast”, and “Today’s Dogg.”I do love cats, but dogs are my passion – especially Pit Bulls, the gentlest dog I know…

I take my older boxer out for walks on my mobility scooter. When she gets tired, I have her sit on my lap and off we go!
