About Dog Ask Dog
by Asha

A while ago, my peeps came home with a small bundle of energy and joy, my new sister, Kira. She had black fur, just like me. Because she was younger and less worldly, I took it upon myself to give her advice. Don't gnaw on the table legs. Mail carriers have treats. The stronger the smell, the better to roll in. Don't bite my tail. Common knowledge, of course, but she found it useful. Kira bragged about her big sister, and word got out to other dogs such that they also began asking for my tips. Sometimes even their peeps sought my advice! And they started to call me Professor Asha. I'm not a real professor, but I started feeling that my words -- and sometimes Kira's, too -- might benefit a larger audience. That's why I started this column.
Because, with all due humility,
black dogs give good advice.
