Spot, occasionally referred to as "Spot McBot" and "Spotty-O", was born on June 1st, 2003. He was a whippet, a dog breed which resembles a smaller greyhound. What made Spot particularly wonderful was his big, perfectly round, brown spot. Aside from that, he was gentle, an expert beggar, and loved a warm bed. He lived an extremely pampered life, but it can't be overstated - it's what he deserved.
