If Dawn was an animal, she’d be: the wild and free filly that won New York’s Belmont Stakes

Or if she were a food, she’d be: Chilean sea bass (the endangered one you’re not supposed to order, but you do…)

What about a piece of furniture?: one of those doors that splits in the middle

Okay, how about something to wear?: cowboy hat fit for a lady

Animal, vegetable… pick a mineral: asbestos
