The need for breed

Happy Saturday! Yesterday, we asked readers to find two canine-related words (six and seven letters long) among the possible Blossom words. Like a pack of keen bloodhounds, many of you were able to track down SETTER (as in Irish Setter) and TERRIER (as in Jack Russell Terrier)! Thanks to everyone who wrote in! Special shout-outs to the following sly dogs who replied with greyhound-like speed: Shirley Marriott in Lecanto, FL; Paula in Berlin, CT; and Donna Hartnett in Chester Springs, PA.
