When we got this puppy, we had heard it used to be one of those show-biz dogs. Not the kind that can find a treat in Jay Leno’s pants on live TV, but rather a trained acting dog. Naturally when I learned this I immediately demanded that we had a film festival of all the great stuff our new puppy had been in. So we hit up IMDB, broke out the projector, and got into our PJs…
