White Dog and Quinn and Nuka and Puff and YoYoMa and Oso want to thank the guy who goes to the Asian Market every week and cooks up fresh mackerel meals despite his busy schedule because he knows homecooked is healthiest and best. They are grateful for the pre-bedtime walkies and the trips to the Park...and for being carried home when they are too tired to take another step. The WDA knows they are lucky to have someone to clean up accidents and upset tummy messes and give extra baths when their bodies get the sickes...someone who worries for their health and well-being and who never yells at them for the inconvenience. Someone is there to sit on the floor...to play...to cuddle...to groom...to care. The White Ones know they need only cry out in the night or lay a dejected head against his knee to get attention and love...and reassurance if it is needed.

My wise pack knows they are blessed with a human who does all that and a billion things more always with kindness and gentleness. And they know genetics does not a father make...a dad is made of love and commitment and selflessness...and they know, Siku and Quinn, Nuka and Puff, YoYo and Oso, that they have the greatest dad ever made.

Happy Father's Day, Dad! Despite being floofless, two-legged, and squeamish about eating things off the street, we think you are just perfect!

The White Dog Army wishes all the other Supermen out there who build their lives around their families, a day filled with celebration by the ones who love you most honoring the difference you make every day!  Happy Fathers' Day!
