The most joyful dog on earth

I defy anyone to spend time with an Irish Setter and not smile. Mine approaches every moment of her life with pure, undiluted joy. She wakes up happy, goes to sleep happy, and everything in between is an adventure. She has an infectious quality that has actually improved my outlook on life. She needs a lot of exercise and patience during her long puppyhood but the reward is a companion of extraordinary warmth and spirit.
