NASHVILLEThere's a Dolly Parton song for every occasion, and on one sunny Nashville afternoon, Ollie the Bernedoodle and his visiting companion Zyia proved it. Standing shoulder to shoulder on the back patio like the cover of a buddy comedy, the six-year-old and his guest lined up for the cameras with the kind of chemistry that makes you wonder if they've been rehearsing.

And if they're not already planning an encore, somebody's missing the memo

Ollie, sporting that signature Bernedoodle fluff in salt-and-pepper tones, looked cool and collected—the seasoned host. But it was Zyia, sleek and sharp in her black and rust coat, who stole the frame with an ear-to-ear grin that could light up Music City itself.

Two islands in the stream, indeed. And if they're not already planning an encore, somebody's missing the memo.
