Got this lovely one by email…
‘An older, tired-looking dog wandered into my garden. I could tell from his collar and well-fed tummy that he had a home and was well taken care of.
He calmly came over to me, and I gave him a few pats.
He then followed me into my house, walked slowly down the hall, curled up in the corner, and fell asleep.
An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out.
The next day he was back. Greeted me, walked inside, resumed his spot in the hall, and again slept for about an hour.
This continued for several days.
Curious, I pinned a note to his collar, saying: ” I would like to find out who the owner of this wonderful, sweet dog is and ask if you are aware that almost every afternoon he comes to my house for a nap? “
The next day he arrived for his nap, with a different note pinned to his collar… ” He lives in a home with six children, two under the age of 3. He’s trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow? “‘
