While some of them declined to speak on the record, a few kind pups took some time to answer a my questions.
Portia:
Q: Who is your owner and what kind of dog are you?
A: Technically, President Salovey is my owner, but neither of us see it that way. Really, we’re just two lost souls in this big, mysterious world and we were lucky enough to have found each other. I’m a Havanese, but I don’t subscribe to labels.
Q: Are you excited for your big debut?
A: Um, I went on an airplane once with President Salovey and his wife, so I’ve already had my big debut. And no, I’m not excited because I’m not even getting paid for this.
Q: Have you been neutered?
A: I’m still fertile if that’s what you’re asking.
Q: What is living with Peter Salovey like?
A: It’s better than a kennel, unless Mrs. Salovey is around.
Monty
Q: Who is your owner, and what type of dog are you?
A: The Law School owns me and I’m a mutt, or at least that’s what they tell me.
Q: Pumped for Saturday?
A: Hell to the yes! Gonna be so fun!
Q: What do you think of law students?
A: I object.
Aqua:
Q: Who is your owner, and what type of dog are you?
A: That’s absolutely none of your business.
Q: What makes your tail wag?
A: A pitbull with a sense of humor.
