FaithFul Friends

Brownie and Spotty were neighbor dogs who met every day to play together.

Like pairs of dogs you can find in most any neighborhood,
these two loved each other and played together so often
that they had worn a path through the grass of the field
between their respective houses.

One evening, Brownie's family noticed that Brownie hadn't returned home.
They went looking for him with no success.
Brownie didn't show up the next day, and, despite their efforts to find him,
by the next week he was still missing.

Curiously, Spotty showed up at Brownie's house alone,
barking, whining, and generally pestering Brownie's human family.
Busy with their own lives,
they just ignored the nervous little neighbor dog.

Finally, one morning Spottyrefused to take "no" for an answer.
Ted, Brownie's owner, was steadily harassed by the furious, adamant littledog
Spottyfollowed Ted about, barking insistently, then darting back and forth
to a nearby empty lot, as if to say, "Follow me! It's urgent!"

Eventually, Ted followed the frantic Spottyacross the empty lot,
as Spotty paused to race back and bark encouragingly.
The little dog led the man under a fence, past clumps of trees,
to a desolate spot a half mile from the house.

There Ted found his beloved Brownie alive --
one of his hind legs crushed in a steel leghold trap.
Horrified, Ted wished he'd taken Spotty's arlier appeals seriously.

Then Ted noticed something quite remarkable...

Spottyhad done more than simply lead Brownie's human to his trapped friend.
In a circle around the injured dog, Ted found an array of dog food and table scraps,
which were identified as the remains of every meal Spotty had been fed that week!

Spotty had been visiting Brownie regularly,
in a single minded quest to keep his friend alive by sacrificing his own comfort!
Spottyhad stayed with Brownie to protect him from predators,
snuggling with him at night to keep him warm and nuzzling him to keep his spirits up.

Brownie's leg was treated by a veterinarian and he recovered.

For many years thereafter, the two families watched the faithful friends
frolicking and chasing each other down that well-worn path between their houses.
