Transcript

Belle the dog with two L's. Professional good girl.

I first met the dog in the mirror when I was a puppy. One day I just looked over and she was there. She's there every time I visit the mirror. so committed and she seems to copy everything I do. I'm not sure if she copies me when I'm not at the mirror, but maybe

it's really a little suspicious if you ask me. Every day is full of important work. Sometimes when I'm on my neighborhood patrol, I look around the corner just to see if she's there.

But I've only seen her in the mirror.

I'll be right back. I have an itch.

So, who is the dog in the mirror? I'm not sure. She's wise. She's beautiful. She's a very good dog who has helped me learn to enjoy every moment.

She also tells me that I'm brave and I'm strong. If I ever have an important decision to make, like which toy to choose or brainstorm how to get more treats, she's always there and she gives me great ideas. Now, if you'll excuse me, it's my sunbathing time.

The dog in the mirror has also helped build my confidence for interpretive dance or zooies.

I spend a lot of time thinking about the wisdom she has given me.

I just let it sink in. Do I need a break? I think I'm good for now. She has helped me realize that sometimes putting a smile on someone else's face brings a smile to mine. Or maybe it's the other way around.

I remember one day the dog in the mirror suggested I try something new. So, I tried my stretches on a yoga mat.

I'm curious where she gets all this wisdom. Like, was she born with it? And what happens to her wisdom when she gives it to me? Do I just take it from her? I don't know. Oh, are you still here? It's time for my grooming.
