This little 45-pound bundle of brown and white energy is my "kid".  No, I don't baby talk her or cook her food but she's been my constant companion, stepper-of-heels, for 5 1/2 years now and I only wish I could clone her.  I've never seen a dog with so much personality and such a great outdoor buddy.  She will shag tennis balls for hours and would swim just as long if Mom wasn't such a buzz kill.  She is truly unique.
