With decades of success on television and stage, to many Griffith will always be remembered\u00a0Sheriff Andy Taylor, everybody\u2019s loving father, the man who could handle any problem with grace and calm \u2014 whether it\u2019s\u00a0a quirky deputy\u00a0or a son\u2019s questions about life.<\/p>\n
So\u00a0what better way to remember Griffith today than with this episode of The Andy Griffith Show, \u201cDogs Dogs Dogs\u201d, in which Opie brings home a stray dog. What parent hasn\u2019t been faced with the questions,\u00a0\u201cCan I keep him? Please\u201d? Oh that we all handled the situation with Sheriff Andy Taylor\u2019s humor!<\/p>\n
Rest in peace, Andy Griffith. The world is a better place because you were in it.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
