dog people

As I have said before, one of the best things about having a dog is the people you meet.

Yesterday I was in the law library and one of my professors from 1L year came trotting by. I've always really liked this guy - he's funny and engaging and a really really fantastic teacher. We had never really talked prior to this, aside from saying hi when we passed in the hallway. He happened to walk by right as the screensaver on my computer flipped to a picture of the Maddie dog. He instantly stopped in his tracks and said "now THAT is a good dog!", and I, being the dork I am, said "You want to see more pictures?!" I showed him a couple and he told me how beautiful she is, asked all sorts of questions about her, and then proceded to tell me all about his dogs. It was such a random and genuine encounter and for some reason it really made my day. I had no idea he was such a dog person. And now, we're buds. :)
