willysmb44 Posted September 17, 2010 #177 Posted September 17, 2010 Good one! Thanks for posting it.Here is another one from the sandbox. Wow, too cute. I’m sure Roman Centurions took local pups into their camps with them for companionship. I always loved the Bill Maudlin cartoon that shows Willie and Joe are in a tent during a driving rain storm. There's a woebegone, drenched dog outside looking in. "Let him in Willie, I want to see something I can feel sorry for." I wish I could find a graphic it online.
