What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorOur Pet of the Day is Gracie, a dog up for adoption in Taunton, according to the Taunton Daily Gazette, and she is looking for her forever home.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe listing is short on detail, so we will not invent any.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorLook at this file footage, not the actual dog, of a golden retriever in a life vest swimming with a toy.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI hereby crown her Gracie the Goodest, Grand Champion of Waiting by the Door, with a perfect record of zero homes and endless hope.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorZero homes means she hasn't found the right fit yet, Chip. That is not a record, that is just bad luck.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorGracie, you deserve a couch, a bowl, and a person who says your name like a love song.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIf I had a couch, I would have filed the paperwork already.
