This morning, I'm woken up by my mom with a surprise: We're going to comic-con for the day! Woo-hoo, and all that jazz! So I get dressed, snarf my food, and we're off.

Well, once in the vendor room, I wander off on my own to look at the different stalls. While I'm at one stall, I run into a lady with a dog. It's not a service animal from what I can see: no vest, no special leash.
So I ask her why she has a dog, because I'm curious.

"Oh, I have special clearance."

Anyway, we get to chatting about dogs, and I'm petting hers, and he's a real sweetheart, all licky-licky and stuff. Very nice lady, but I don't think to ask for her name (or the dog's).

After about ten minutes, she says she has to go, she has a panel to attend, so we say good-bye and I go back to wandering.

Well, a few hours later, we go to a panel for a Q&A with Carrie Fischer. For those of you who might not know, she's the lady who played Princess Leia in Star Wars.

When she finally appears, she's carrying her dog.
