An older, tired-looking dog wandered into a woman's front yard.
She could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home
and was well taken care of.
He calmly came over to her, and she gave him a few pats on his head;
he then followed her into her house, slowly walked down the
hall, curled up in the corner and fell asleep.
An hour later, he went to the door, and she let him out.
The next day he was back, greeted her in her yard, walked inside and
resumed his spot in the hall and again slept for about an hour. This
continued off and on for several weeks.
Curious she 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 your dog 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 4 children, 3 of them under the age of 4 -
he's trying to catch up on his sleep.
Can I come with him tomorrow?'
