Teacher's pet dog

'Beware of SUV.'

Houdini's Dog

Dog Training. Most of the choices the dogs made for their book reports are logical. The labrador retriever chose "Catch-22." The terrier, who loves to dig, chose "Journey to the Center of the Earth." The basset hound is doing his on "The Howling." and the shar-pei picked "A Wrinkle in Time." But the dachshund's choice confuses me. Even with the ground-hugging physique, he selected "Wuthering Heights."

"I do corporate, divorce, and malpractice, but I'm most familiar with leash laws."

"I promised him he could have a pet."

'How to make money in the stock market.'

"Do you think he'll bring treats?"

Hemingway's dog meets Faulkner's Dog.
