One afternoon, I was in the backyard hanging the laundry when an old tired-looking dog wandered into the yard. I could tell from the collar and well-fed belly that he had a home. But when I walked into the house, he followed me, sauntered down the hall and fell asleep in a corner. An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out. The next day, he was back. He resumed his position in the hallway and slept for an hour. This continued for several weeks. Curious, I pinned a note to his collar: “Every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap” The next day, he arrived with a different note pin on his collar:

“ He lives in a home with 10 children - he’s trying to catch up on his sleep “
