Lake Champlain Transportation Company
The Lake Champlain Transportation Company (LCTC or just LCT) provides car and passenger ferry service at three points on Lake Champlain in the United States. From 1976 to 2003, it was owned by Burlington, Vermont, businessman Raymond C. Pecor, Jr. who is Chairman of the company's board. In 2003, he sold the company to his son, Raymond Pecor III.
Lake Champlain is the sixth-largest lake in the United States, reaching a maximum width of 12 miles (19 km) and depths of more than 300 feet (91 m). As such, there is no bridging of the "broad lake" north of Crown Point, New York, and south of the Rouses Point-Alburg-Swanton crossing near the Canada border, though bridging of the lake near Plattsburgh has been proposed. The ferry service allows convenient transport across the lake between New York and Vermont. Approximately one million passengers cross the lake by ferry each year.

Like A Dog
by: Greg BrownLike a dog, like a dog, I've sat by your door,
Hoping for any scraps you might throw.
And I whine sometimes 'cause I need your love.
And I have loved you like a dog.
Like a dog, like a dog, I'm always there,
While you are out gallivanting somewhere.
One little scratch means everything.
And I have loved you like a dog.
Maybe I shouldn't admit it.
Maybe I shouldn't have tried.
You want somethin', honey, I'll get it.
A dog is not burdened with pride.
Like a dog, like a dog, I leap with joy
When you call my name, call me a good boy.
I wish I had a dog's heart instead of this one.
For I have loved you like a dog.
I have loved you like a dog.
