Cocker Spaniel
Happy. gentle. Yours.
There's a moment every Cocker Spaniel owner knows, you walk through the door after being gone for exactly eleven minutes, and those liquid brown eyes light up like you just returned from war. The whole back end starts going, not just the tail but the entire rear half of the dog, wiggling with a joy so pure it should be studied by scientists.
