I have the best dog in the world, but if I put a steak on the floor and walk away, he's gonna eat it.

Meanwhile, have a little dog refusing to come in from the cold until the school bus brings his small human back

#APA "Female respondents earned 9% less, on average, than male respondents. However, this gap is predominantly attributable to diffs between respondents w/ 30 or more years of planning experience."
