Tell your Dad he has a really great kid! Tell him to stop in here and meet his friends - show an interest in what his son is interested in.
Tell him we bark once in a while but don't bite, we're housetrained (okay, most of us are), we've had all of our shots, and we're always ready to go for a ride with the windows wide open.
