This is Joey Bagodonuts. He is a 5-year-old black Lab whose favorite things include peanut butter, stealing towels, eating handkerchiefs and committing extortion as a means of increasing his cheese intake. He loves people (now) but if you try to sleep too late, he might make off with the blankets so you have to get up or freeze.
