The Dogs Who Came to Stay

Rating:★★★★

Genre: Biographies & Memoirs
Author:George Pitcher
Excerpt:

One afternoon, when I looked into the cave, I found her, for the first time, not hidden away in utter darkness but crouching only a foot or two from where I knelt.

"Well, hello, there,", I said quietly, trying oh so hard not to frighten her. I scarcely dared to breathe. I wanted to reach out and touch her, but I couldn't risk it. She turned her head away, and I thought she would creep to the back of the cave, but no, she held her ground. In a moment, she began to wag her tail ever so slowly. It thumped against the side if the cave. With that gentle motion, all my defences were swept away. "well then," I said to myself as she suddenly looked blurred to me, "I'm yours forever!"
