My dog, Princess Trudy, died this afternoon. I’m overwhelmed with emotion, but amazed at the love outpouring from family and friends. She was 16 1/2, and had a great life.

Things got better for Oher after practice, when Sandra Bullock picked him up as he was walking home and took him back to her place, where she fed him supper and let him sleep in her guest bedroom, which has air-conditioning.

Oh, you’re finished? Well allow me to retort.
