An older, tired-looking Dalmatian dog wandered into my yard the other
day. I could tell from his collar, veterinarian tags and well-fed
belly that he had a home and was well taken care of.
He calmly came over to me wagging his tail. I gave him a few pats on
his head. He then followed me into my house, slowly walked down the
hall, curled up on my leather couch and fell asleep.
An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out.
The next day he was back, greeted me in my yard, walked inside and
resumed his spot on the couch and again slept for about 2 hours. This
continued off and on for several weeks.
Curious, one day I pinned a note to his collar reading: ‘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 your dog comes to my house
for a nap.’
The next day the dog arrived again for his nap, with a different note
pinned to his collar: ‘He lives in a home with 6 children, 2 under the
age of 3 – he’s trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him
tomorrow?’
