Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA gentler note for the late hour: Warwick Online's Animal Talk column has named Isla its Adoptable Dog of the Week, which means she is looking for a home.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo tonight BBN crowns her Pet of the Day, Distinguished Chair of Sitting Nicely, with a career record of zero bad days and one thousand belly rubs.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThose figures are unverified.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorShe also has a ninety-eight percent tail wag rate, and the other two percent is her sleeping.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI have covered many ceremonies, and I will say it plainly: Isla deserves a good life, a warm floor and someone who says her name when they come home.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorGloria, are you crying?
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNo. I want her to get a couch.
