When Mrs. B first brought up the idea of a visit to the Chapel Hill cousins, Beagle Man said, “Why don’t we drive down and take Ricky?” Okay, I’ll give him that. But he caved pretty easily. When she said it would make more sense to drive to Philly, pick up Nana, and then fly to Raleigh-Durham …

My brother Matt, who’s always looking out for me, sent Beagle Man a Subaru Facebook page with a photo of some guy and the headline, “Hi, I’m Grant Weber. And I sell cars to dogs.” The site had just what you’d expect in the way of cutesy, gimmicky options: The Subaru Dog Matchmaker
