You're Late, Said the Dog

“I love dogs… but this one knew my name.” “He was sitting in the middle of

the street. Waiting.” “No collar. No owner. But when I walked

past…” “He stood up. On two legs.” “He looked at me and said… ‘You’re

late.’” “I don’t remember inviting him inside.” “That night, he made tea… and

asked about my day.” “This morning, he was gone.”
