  4. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe dog's season stat line reads one face-off, eighteen seconds, one chase, fifty metres, zero attacks.

  5. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI'm sorry, I need a second. He just stood there and barked.

  6. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorBy the BBN scale, this Labrador is Pet of the Day, Defender of the Courtyard, and the only one in the story who didn't ask for a committee.

  7. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI'm retiring his number. He doesn't have a number, so I'm retiring the camera.
