I did not know his “first” family had moved. Funny, but you know – that new family has that effect on people too.

What a beautiful story and a love filled dog. I am sure you all will live happily ever after too.

Awh!!!! What a cutie. We had the same thing happen, one of our neighbors had a boxer, a really sweet dog. Something happened when her owner neutered her too soon, and she wasn’t able to always hold it. The owner got tired of it, and always kept her outside. Many times we had to return her because we would find her in the street. The children from across the street started to love on her, and she would escape her gate everyday and walk over to stay with them. Eventually the mother of the children talked the owner into letting them keep her. Turns out she had horrible heart worms, and never even got heart worm medicine! They saved her, and took her in. It breaks my heart to think of all the dogs in a loveless home that cannot get away, but so happy for Dingo!

I always like a story with a happy ending (from the perspective of the kids anyway!). Janis’s story about the neutered cat? Pure comedy.

I think it’s good dog’s don’t talk. We’d be overwhelmed by their knowledge and intuition. Just like a parent training a child… first they’ll return me, I’ll give it a day and go back, then they’ll call and come get me, I’ll go back that night, etc. etc. Great Story!

So freaking cute – but Dingo? That dog looks nothing like a dingo. Dingoes are tan – with white and sometimes a little orangy hint. He looks more like a hyena – but I guess that would make a terrible nursery rhyme/blog post

That was the greatest story! I laughed so hard. My mom referred me to your blog, and I’m following you on Twitter. You are a great writer!

So sweet–we once had a dog who was a holy terror and only lived with us because she “came with the house” we bought. When she finally went to live with her new owners, she travelled miles and miles, several times, and would dig her way back into our yard, much to the emotional disturbance of the five year old in our home–the only one who had loved this dog. Dogs know who “their people” are, and nothing we have to say about it matters!
