A dog officially named Elie Cartan, but called Pucky, for short, was my
constant companion for the last 8+ years. He would sit at my feet as I worked
on my PC writing things for Cartan's Corner. He would go with me to the
University, and patiently wait in my office until I finished classes. He had
made his own bed on the lower shelf of my bookcase. He loved to ride in the car
with his nose out the driver's side window. He was a two star dog in the sense
that he has accompanied me to dinner in many restaurants, including those in
France which have been awarded two stars in the Guide Michelin. He was smarter
than any animal that I have known, and knew how to communicate with me via body
language and small sounds.
