Q: How far can a puppy fall?

A: A puppy can fall from the greatest heights, sink to the greatest depths. A puppy can, one day, rule a great kingdom, commanding land as far as he can see, with an army of loyal subjects ready to do his bidding, only to find himself soon reduced to rooting through trash for food and accepting hand outs from strangers. Such is the life of a puppy, always subjected to the cruel winds of fate.

A puppy can fall incredibly far, metaphorically speaking.

Literally, a puppy can probably fall about eight feet, onto something soft, preferably a mattress or trampoline. A fall greater than that, onto a surface like concrete, would probably kill it.

Put the puppy down, Bob. He did nothing to you. You're taking this far too personally.

An all canine production of King Lear requires an all canine cast. I thought you understood.

I'm sorry, Bob, but no one buys your dog act. You are simply not convincing.

Please stop barking, you're only embarrassing yourself.
