He spends weekdays charming the staff at the law office of his owner, Fran Letro, in the downtown Dun Building. Like all dogs, Barkley needs walking. Julie Padak, a 29-year-old paralegal, usually got the job.

Updated: 06/24/09 9:03 AM I feel sorry for her. I feel sorry for all of us. But I feel especially sorry for Maria Whyte. She thought she could change something. Not a big thing. A little thing that, 12 years after we were warned about sprawl, we still have not done.

Updated: 06/15/09 7:43 AM Honestly now. Was everybody in on the stunt but me? Because, I swear: At times last week I was certain I had stumbled into an alternate universe. One in which people’s mouths moved, but very little of what came out made sense.

Updated: 07/03/09 6:55 AM Q: My boyfriend moved in with me and my 6-year-old beagle. Unfortunately, my dog showed his teeth and tried to attack my boyfriend. This dog is very protective of me. We were lying on the couch and the boyfriend just walked up, wanting to play catch with the dog. Maybe he was standing in an intimidating way. The beagle has (been aggressive) before. If I’m sleeping and someone approaches, he will growl. Any advice? My boyfriend is traumatized.—
