A dark stormy night, howling winds, lashing rain.
Wet, bedraggled she stood beside the road. Lost, scared.
I stopped the car and walked towards her, saw the fear in her eyes.
I wrapped her in my coat and gently carried her to the car.
Arriving home a warm towel to rub her dry, gave her some food
She was still shivering when I wrapped her in a blanket and held her in my arms.
When I woke next morning she was laying soft and warm beside me, her head resting on my chest.
At that moment I realised, she was mine.


All my life I'd waited for this moment.
Finally I had a dog of my own.....
