Dog Buddies

I've written a lot about our last dog, Lucy, and her selective friendships. She had a hard time with other dogs and only allowed a few into her life, but she played with none...except Kita. Kita was an Akita mix and she and Lucy were so obviously best friends. They could see across the street to each other's home and when they spotted each other, oh! The volume went up! Kita's owner moved away after a year and Lucy went into a huge slump. Kita was far enough away that get togethers weren't possible.

So you can imagine my delight when I read a story of two stray dogs in Indiana that had bonded, but were caught and taken to a shelter. One was adopted out and lasted with his family only three weeks before he made a ten mile journey back to the shelter to see his buddy. The end of the story is even better. Read it here.
