Since this seems to have become the dog column, rather that the tax prep column, I will mention that DNA on your best friend is now available through Ancestry and many more. My latest Grandpuppy is Cooper who was found dirty and cut on the City streets about 2 years ago. Here is a link to his DNA at Wisdom Panel . You can browse on that link to see more about my daughter's declining super dog kennel. The Santa jacket dog (Clyde, brother of Bonnie who went to another home) in the earlier photo is now 16 and the sole doggie survivor of the photo.
