The Love of a Dog

Last May 4, 2008 (Sunday), was the day when we would return my dear Missy to her original owner. It was still 8 am and Missy never knew that this would be the last time that we would ever see her. Our neighbor was very kind enough to help us bring Missy down at Cagayan de Oro. Missy was never used to traveling so she was very afraid indeed. I could notice that she was very stressed out because she was salivating. I have noticed that when she gets stressed or tired (from running around) she always salivates. She was very restless and just stuck her head out of the multicab (a 4 wheeled vehicle here in the Philippines) for some air. I was afraid that she would jump out so I placed my arms around her and to my surprise she actually cuddled into my arms. It was here that I knew that I was really going to miss her.

She surrendered everything and I know that she completely trusted me and she just laid there on my arms. This was one of those moments that I know that she actually had affections for me. I'm not sure but I guess somehow she knew that this would be the last that we would see of each other.

To be continued...
