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?
