It's a shame that many of us are more attached to animals than to people.
We had a Collie when I grew up named Ladie. There is one man(a neighbor)
from the old neighborhood who is writing a bookk with an entire chapter on
Ladie. When I took
public transportation to spedcial ed. across town, Ladie knew what time the
bus arrived and would be at the bus stop to greet me. She watched over the
infant next door when the mother would put her in the play pen. You never
forgot friends like Ladie. They put her to sleep when I was in college.
