WHAT IS MILDRED?


What is Mildred, anyway?


Sure, she’s a bulldog, an English bulldog to be more specific, but what is she exactly? What is she like in, uh, person?


I’ve long described Mildred, based on her appearance, personality, and behavior, as being part dog, part cat, part rabbit, part monkey, part pig, part seal, part hippo, part bear (especially polar bear), part tick, and part human.


Today I received a card from a friend featuring a photograph of a penguin.


The resemblance is, in a word, eerie.
