Smart as shit, depth of emotional attachment...amazing...
If I could find another dog like him I'd be stoked. He set the bar too high and makes me want to not own another dog.

I felt that way about my cat, Darwin. He was such a character and was truly an exceptional and unique cat. One day he was hit by a car and we didn't want to get any other cats; we felt that he was "the one" and that no other cat could ever measure up to him. That's when my hubby's sister begged us to take her cat, Clarence.
Although Clarence was very different from Darwin, he was also a very exceptional cat and we came to love and adore him just as much as we had Darwin. In fact, he was smarter in certain ways and approached being a cat with an entirely different attitude. This taught us that there are very many great pets out there -- you just have to give them a chance.
