I have a dog! Her name is Marley (she's named after Scrooge's business partner in A Christmas Carol, NOT Bob Marley.) I've had her about 8.5 years (I got her while I was pledging, actually) and the vet and I think she's about 10 years old.
She is a delicate mix of many excellent breeds. She's completely black, about 60 lbs, with long fur. She's a pretty solid mid-sized dog.
Shelter dogs who were formerly stray have a reputation for having stomachs of steel, and my dog is no exception. Marley once ate an entire bag of Hershey's Kisses - with the foil wrapper still on - and that was a disaster. The only other thing I've found that she can't eat is scrambled eggs with Tobasco.
