Dogs like to learn stuff, if not from another dog, then people are OK... They love activity, playing, interesting walks, and just belonging, being together.

People didn't think animals thought or remembered or had minds! They most certainly do: any pet owner knows more than a lot of scientists about animals.

This was what you did in the '50s: You get married, get a job, put your husband through graduate school, and have two kids - a girl and a boy.

I once saved someone from drowning.

I have a dog named Steve that lives at the studio.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.
