Mans Best Friend

Last night, mans best friend got a great seat at the State of the Union address. No, not Bush (whacker), he had to stand (though I'd have preferred he didn't come at all). No not god either, though he is a good choice and you are on the right track, since both are loving and loyal, unlike some attendees (see bush above). No mans best friend in this case was a dog, a German shepherd named Rex. But Rex is not just any dog, no this one is a specially trained ($18,000) bomb sniffing dog that served in Iraq.
He was arguably the only attendee that understood a single word that was spoken, since the speaker himself is of a similar species, ablbeit an inferior, lower class one, without the loyalty, love ,bravery or brains that Rex possesses. I usually hate to see America "going to the dogs", but in this case it was a pleasant site to behold.
