A dog's loyalty and memory

[Catherine]

I remember that dog who waited for the train. Maybe the waiting made him feel close to the man that died. We visit cemeteries even though we will not actually be seeing the person who has died.

I think I would work with him to establish a new pattern. The school is too far away. The school bus is too dangerous. They could put him on a lead and wait at the time the child comes home from the school bus. They could make a big thing of it and walk up the road a little at the right time. The dog would learn and it would be safer than having him go to the school. It would relieve his anxieties. I am sure the school would appreciate it.

Some people just don't think things through.
