PETS: This dog is clearly the king

It was a severe shock to see the Coeur d’Alene Press 3rd Annual Cutest Pet Contest in the paper. There were several very obvious problems with the contest that any reasonable reader would spot right away. The most glaring was the inclusion of cats in the contest. Thousands of years ago, cats were worshipped as Gods. Cats have never forgotten that. Cats are not pets, they are snoots.

The second glaring and completely irrational error in the structure of this contest was the inclusion of any dog breed other than the Golden Retriever. No right thinking honest to goodness, normal human being could believe that there is any dog that can hold a candle to the Golden Retriever.

I know there will be people who take umbrage with this letter and will try to tout the dogs they own. While they are way above cat owners, they are just plain wrong. The sun comes up in the East and Golden Retrievers sleep comfortably under that sun knowing their unapproachable top of the mountain status. If the Golden Retrievers in this contest do not sweep all the awards then there is a conspiracy in play. I have already alerted the FBI of the need to monitor the voting.
