Elizabeth Mitchell

I am very benign-looking. I'm somewhat like a golden retriever: It's not hard to look at me. I'm perfectly fine. It's not like things jut out and make you nervous. But the lovely thing about being so pale and having such pasty features is that I can look like pretty much anything, which is nice.

Bob Dole. He's like the neighbors' Labrador retriever your dad used to curse for all that barking, all that darn digging in your mom's tulip bed, and now look, you live next door to a godforsaken pack of teeth-baring rabid Pomeranians, and, good golly, Bob Dole!

Function Specificity

 speedier than the golden retrievers and it's been interesting watching him because he seems to move quite fast almost like a sprinter and he seems to be doing that rotary gallop so right right left left left in a big sort of circle which is what they do when they're really going very fast on the ground so just the same in the water
