Milkshake the Dog

"A milkshake is a drink for special occasions, like to celebrate winning a game or getting a good grade. You might buy a milkshake for a person who's feeling down. I associate Milkshake the dog with no special occasions or good times." -Zinnia and the Bees by Danielle Davis

This Little Puppy

Grover waddles into the room, snuffling my backpack. He sounds more like a pig than a dog.

Shaggy Dog

As Armand glared at the children, a shaggy dog that should have been white came bounding across the quay. It protectively jumped between the tramp and the children, barking fiercely at Armand. The hobo quickly maneuvered his buggy between himself and the dog.
