One amazing thing here: there is a dog which accompanies any car we arrive home in if it’s after dark. It runs ahead of us, as if it is our guard of honour, then waits in front of the house until we’re safely inside.
I’ve encountered a dog like this before, during the great flood of 2015, when I had to make my way down the mountain alone amidst landslides all around. On that dark evening such a dog appeared at my side to guide me to safety too.
I don’t know who owns either of these dogs, but they’re dutiful creatures deserving of that title, “Man’s best friend.”
