Wrigley at the Movies

Once upon the time, I had the chance to dogsit for my coworkers’ beagle, Wrigley, the Wonder Beagle. When I put on a DVD of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Wrigley started barking and wagging his tail at Brad Pitt. When the heroine, Angelina Jolie, showed up, Wrigley started panting and howling. And when the villain showed up, Wrigley started growling. When Wrigley’s owner got back into town, I told her that I had been very much surprised at exactly how much Wrigley had enjoyed the movie. She said, “So am I. He hated the book.”
