We said goodbye to our favorite show dog (as in this show, not a dog show) Peanutbutter Jones, the biggest, slobbiest, three-leggedliest, dog in the world. He went to dog glory at home surrounded by a cat who tolerated him, a dog who barely tolerated him, and Jen who legit loved his big dumbness very much. We dedicate Because Black this week to Peanutbutter Jones, the big white dog who always had something to say in the background.
