There was this really smart scientist guy who said that people can learn a lot from dogs. He said that when someone you love walks through the door, even if it happens five times a day, you should go totally insane with joy.

With love to my actual father, here a photo of my favorite fictional father, Atticus Finch, with his daughter Scout. (Well, technically the photo is of Gregory Peck and Mary Badham playing Atticus and Scout in the film version of To Kill a Mockingbird.)
