Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas.

I suppose it depends on how you feel about dogs. I never use any of those
old negative connotations of dog in conversation. I know too well the
devotion and sacrifice my dog makes for me. And besides, my dog doesn't
have fleas. I take good care of her. Smile. And for the black lab comment
... yes, she is a black lab. The dog I had when POA came out--the book--was
a yellow lab, but I never thought of the big black dog as something scary.
To me, the fact that it was a dog made me sure it was going to be something
good in the end. I guess the question is, how does JKR feel about dogs?
