A Boy and His Dog

March 19, 2008 |

I was driving into town yesterday so I could take care of some errands. It was cold and there was a light mist falling. It was only 34 degrees outside - not quite cold enough for the rain to turn to ice or snow but cold enough to cut right through you.

As I turned onto Main Street I saw him. This boy of about 15 and he was struggling with his jacket. He had taken it off and he was trying to twist it around. It was then that I saw a little black, furry head peek out from the folds of the coat and I realized what the boy was doing. He was wrapping his puppy up in his jacket to keep him warm and dry.

Sacrificing his own comfort to take care of this innocent little creature.

And I was so touched, it stuck with me for the rest of the day.

    What a great thing for him to have done - and for you to have seen. There’s a lot of good in this world.
