I just came home from my son’s piano lessons three blocks away from our house. As I was driving around the second block, I saw a stray dog walking along the pavement. My son Joshua also saw him and pleaded if we could pull over. I saw how Josh looked tearg eyes when he saw the dog. The creature looked very tiny. He seemed to be hungry too but was very week.I decided to carry him and I put him in the empty basket just beside my son.

When we returned home, I saw how Joshua looked to concerned about the dog. I gave him his snack and place some milk for the dog in the counter. After two hours, he still seemed to be very weak. I called Nancy, my cousin, and asked her what to do with the puppy. She said we should go to a veterinarian so check out the puppy’s health.

Good thing there is a veterinary clinic in the nearby area in Rotterdam. Joshua came with me. The veterinarian said the puppy must have been missing for a couple of days now and it seemed like he has not eaten any decent meal for the past few days.

The veterinarian Dr. Mark gave us prescription and we bought some food and medicines for the tired looking dog. When we come back home, Joshua seemed so delighted to give him food. He even skipped playing at the backyard so he can attend to the poor dog’s need.

Looks like we have a new addition in the family today. I am sure Kate and my husband John will be very surprised.
