PET MADNESS WINNER: SNOOPY
And… we have now a winner. Snoopy takes the roses.
After we began this wild trip, I truthfully had no inkling who would possibly win. However when Snoopy handily defeated the lazy, carb-loving Garfield after which narrowly nudged out broomstick-balancing Jiji, I started to suspect he might go the gap. Nonetheless, I discover it fascinating that this daydreaming yard beagle beat out three verified heroes – Miyazaki’s purple elk Yakul, Tolkien’s large wolfhound Huan, and Harry’s beloved owl Hedwig – two of whom, by the way, died defending their human good friend. And but voters went with the basis beer sipping anthropomorphic canine. As a literary crowd, did we respect his dedication to studying the whole lot of Conflict and Peace? Did we relate to his battle to write down the nice American novel? The dance strikes? Or maybe it’s the multigenerational bonding we worth. Who else can reliably depart you, your dad and mom, your grandparents, and possibly even your personal children crying into their bittersweet sizzling cocoa each vacation season when A Charlie Brown Christmas rolls round on tv?
Of Snoopy, Charles M. Schulz as soon as mirrored, “He can win or lose, be a catastrophe, a hero, or something, and but all of it works out.” Maybe we see ourselves in Snoopy. We’re not on the market wrestling werewolves or combating demise eaters. We’re simply attempting to do our greatest, eat some good meals, present up for buddies, and hope all of it works out.
Or possibly all of us simply actually love canine.
