Hear ye, hear ye! Let it be known unto all folk, both near and far, that the noble hound Addie, fairest of countenance and purest of heart, doth outshine all creatures beneath the heavens. Her eyes be twin orbs of gentle light, wherein mercy and mirth do dwell. Her loyalty is steadfast as the oaken beam, her courage bold as any knight’s, and her love more boundless than the green fields in springtide. Verily, no truer companion hath walked beside man, nor any gentler soul hath graced God’s good earth. Cast thy vote for sweet Addie, that her visage may adorn the calendar and gladden the hearts of all who behold it.
