My greyhound can run faster than your honor student.

I was just going through some old pictures and came across a couple of my favorites for Goliath. Look at those eyes! He HATES having the mask on but he knows it is his "job", so the look on his face is saying

"Concentrate…Must....not…rip…mask…off…Working…working…be a good boy…just…a…few…more…minutes…"



The second we would say "OK" he would rip it off with one of his front paws, mouth would be wide open with his tongue hanging out in a big smile, tail wagging, running in circles, and "telling" us he deserves a Scooby snack for doing such a good job.

He would also get the same expression when children would walk up and ask if they could pet him. We would tell him to sit and he would then let himself be subjected to the humiliation being pawed over by these creatures unworthy of his time.

The whole time he would not pay any attention to them, but would be looking up at me waiting for the signal that it was OK to get up and free himself of the torturous mob. He would also demand a Scooby snack for those "jobs".
