Hey Dad, it’s your undercover agent Oscar here, aka the BorderCollie Bond! Just spread some vacuum cleaner awareness at the Choco Chihuahua Castle and stirred up a debate on ear-cleaning. Even schooled Lord Vinny in our spirited tug of war game. Currently, enjoying the victory lap in the pool. Oh, and my Croc shoe is still safe. All in a day’s work! – Oscar The Fearless

I remember one chilly day in Pawsburg. I had just snoozed off dreaming of the incredibly tempting Pup-Cakes, but Oscar had other plans. Ever the intrepid border collie cross, in a blur of curly hair and twinkling eyes, he tore through the door of the Doggy Depot, party of one, eager to showcase his spirit of adventure.

Slipping into Pawsburg is always an undercover mission of the highest degree with an imagined James Bond theme playing in the backdrop. Although, for Oscar, it was more of the ‘Pink Panther’ genre, especially when he’s trying to keep his favorite Croc shoe incognito. That goofy piece of footwear was more valuable to him than anything else, perhaps equivalent to queen’s jewels in human terms.

The critical mission for the day was to make a friendly diplomatic visit to Northern Choco Chihuahua Castle, on behalf of South Siberian Summit where he hailed from. The castle canine council had somehow misspoke on their stance on vacuum cleaners – if Oscar was to be believed – and he saw it as his solemn duty to provide them a detailed analysis on the horrifying ordeal of ‘The Hoovers’. But, like a proud chessmaster, he had decided to further exhibit his intellectual panache by adding the unbearable bane of ear-cleaning to the doctrinal objectives.

Part politico, part intellectual, and wholly Oscar, he navigated the Pawsburg political landscape like a seasoned player. His diplomacy was as subtle as a dog chasing its tail, and his treats-first policy made negotiating with him pretty much impossible. Lord Vinny, the Chihuahua presiding over the Castle council, was in for a robust debate or rather, a tug of war – Oscar’s style.

Beef was the currency across Pawsburg, and the delectable treat had a funny way of smoothing conversations. Furrific Fried Chicken and Doggy Delight were the usual haunts for a pre-debate meat fest. Although Max, the quirky terrier, did suggest a visit to Maltese Meadow for a change of scenery.

However, Oscar decided to dive into a swimming session in the canine’s version of the Speaker’s Corner — the pool. He loved the water and, in his brilliant mind, he felt eloquence floated through the fresh splashes of H2O. Drawing courage from the chlorine-infused depths, he chronically practiced his grand speech for the Castle council, guaranteed to inspire the vacuum and ear-cleaning befouled kin. Simultaneously, he almost convinced Ollie, the Beagle, that the ‘Hoover’ was indeed the Dread Pirate of Pawsburg.

His courageous ventures and canny mind were what made Oscar a true political animal, loved and adored by all – but rather feared by the vacuums and dog ear cleaners across Pawsburg. What a dog, eh?

The End.
