Cocoa Puff wears socks, can give papers to professors, take out trash öö and he's a dog

Wildcat: My name's Nathan and you're On the Spot.

Goldblatt: Okay.

Wildcat: So what's your dog's name?

Goldblatt: Cocoa Puff.

Wildcat: How come he's wearing little socks?

Goldblatt: Because he's from Pennsylvania and it's too hot out here for him to. ... He burns the pads on his feet on the pavement

Wildcat: Aw, poor Cocoa Puff.

Goldblatt: Yeah.

Wildcat: So what are you doing today?

Goldblatt: I'm walking back from Penguin's; then I'm going to do some homework. Then I'm going to some function that I have tonight for an organization I'm involved in on campus.

Wildcat: Really? Does Cocoa Puff fetch?

Goldblatt: He does, but not when he's in his harness so ÷

Wildcat: What are his duties?

Goldblatt: He'll help me pick stuff off the floor as small as a dime and as heavy as a gallon of milk.

Wildcat: That's what I need! I need a dog that will, like, pick up my room for me. Does he pick up your trash? Does he do stuff?

Goldblatt: I could tell him to take my trash out if I wanted to.

Wildcat: That is so cool. I need a dog like Cocoa Puff. So they only sell dogs like this in Pennsylvania?

Goldblatt: Nope. It's actually an application process and if you have a physical need for it. They will interview you, hopefully give you a dog, and what I like about my place is that they specifically trained the dog for a year for me.

Wildcat: Oh my gosh. So ÷

Goldblatt: My dog knows how to give papers to professors.

Wildcat: I'm so going to apply.
