Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
Dana Perino is a leading personality on Fox News. She is also a former White House press secretary (for George W. Bush). She is just out with a book, “Let Me Tell You about Jasper …: How My Best Friend Became America’s Dog.”
Jay talks with Ms. Perino in her home, along with Jasper himself. They talk about him, of course, and about dogs. But also about broader issues in life, which a discussion of dogs can prompt. As far as Jay is concerned, the new book is essentially about love. The author does not disagree.
This is a “Q&A” off the beaten path – something for people of whatever political or ideological stripe. Even cats come in for a good word.

@jameslileks There is only one real “Jasper.” Jasper was “America’s Dog” long before Perino’s entry came along. Chick must never have read The Bleat.
The Homestead Act/Stock-Raising Homestead Act?
Jay, picture of the painting of Jasper? I googled around and couldn’t find one.
Thanks for this one Jay! Among other things, we have a rescue vizsla who’s age we don’t know for sure and she started going gray soon after we got her. We were under the impression she was 2 at the time, but have wondered if she might be older and worried about losing her too soon. So it was great to hear it was just a breed thing. I hadn’t known that, but it made my day!
