This is how Elmore fell asleep last night. He's so cute I can't stand it. (And I did turn the light off again after I took these. It's strangely hard to take photos in the dark without a night vision lens. )

D'awwww, thanks! Sometimes he falls asleep with his nose pressed against the tank and in the morning there's a streak of dragon drool down the glass. It's the most thing ever.

It's a late Monday afternoon and a small tavern on a remote side street in downtown Plymouth is packed.

Hundreds of folks are there to celebrate the birthday of arguably the biggest star in town: An 8-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog named Stella.

"I'm the township supervisor and Stella's bigger than me," said Kurt Heise. "I couldn't get a crowd like this for my birthday. She's got a book and a restaurant named after her."

Stella is the namesake for Stella's Black Dog Tavern, a once-struggling bar that is now a dining destination.

The man behind Stella's fame and the tavern's turnaround is Bob Ostendorf.

He's a turnaround specialist who spent about 30 years rescuing companies, including auto suppliers, from financial ruin. Five years ago at age 63, Ostendoft abandoned retirement and bought Doyle's Tavern. He rebranded it and made it so successful that he plans to move it to a bigger venue in Plymouth before year-end to accommodate its growing popularity.

But it hasn't been all triumph for Ostendorf. Along the way, he endured personal tragedies, and it was this 125-pound black dog, Stella, who would ultimately rescue him.

Now they both help others. They raise money for a local humane society and Stella is a certified service dog who visits former war veterans at Veterans Affairs Ann Arbor Healthcare System. She also doles out daily empathy to everyone she meets at the tavern, in some cases changing lives.

I'm visiting my mom for Thanksgiving. Which means I'm visiting family friend's dog Booger.



I'm stoked. But he better have his tie on.
