What looks like a rabbit and acts like a dog?
TP: Come on in here, Little Man. I was beginning to think you were never coming back.
LM: Yeh well, it was a rough summer, doc.
TP: Tell me about it. I’m guessing it has something to do with the new “foster kid” your parents brought home. What was his name? The Colonel?
