Sir BRUNO of WESSIE


"Dogs are better than human beings because they know but do not tell."

Life's a game.
I play it close to the bone.

 What I like are quiet afternoons.  Folks assume I'm only idling, but I'm thinking.  I've been studying English by listening.  I'm working up a comic routine I hope to have ready for Thanksgiving.
There goes one of our cats--I have to keep things in order here.  It's one of my jobs.  I'm a conscientious worker, and quite intelligent, so I also take time to teach my people tricks.
 One of our practice sessions...
 I take them for lots of walks too--sometimes up the road to the top of the hill, and sometimes around the other way to hang out with my girlfriend--a goofy girl but game to tumble, run and romp.
Sometimes we follow the old path into the woods.
 Or, we just go out back and mess around.
I hunt for sticks and cats.
Home is where my heart is.

Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.”
