The perfect companion

Lately, when I run out to pick up one of the girls from school, I have had a companion come along to keep me company.
Shady, our 9 year old black labrador retriever, will jump into the passenger seat and come along for the ride. She sits up in the front passenger seat, just like a person. Sometimes I think it wouldn't surprise me a bit if she looked over and said to me, "Driving a little fast, aren't you?"
