Victoria Regina

Thirteen years ago last month, Dan schlepped up to the bustling metropolis of Colfax, Calif., to claim Zap. He was accompanied by his friend Gene, who declared: "That's the ugliest puppy I've ever seen."

Gene's judgment is subject to question, because I've seen Zap's puppy pictures and he was adorable. In the years since, he's routinely been described as elegant, regal, and even beautiful. How often do people call you regal, Gene? That's what I thought.

Zap has one of the sturdiest egos I've known, yet I haven't had the heart to share this news.
