I live in a Buddhist country and in the case of a tale like this people would say that Bark was probably the reincarnation of Chloe.

This might sound far fetched but I have adopted puppies shortly after the death of a beloved dog and the puppies have been remarkably like the diseased animal in temperament, likes and dislikes. I have one bitch now called Buck who is so similar in behavior to an diseased bitch called Puppy that the cleaner and other staff actually call her Puppy.

Poor Chloe.

I can’t say I wouldn’t have done the same thing if I found a puppy in the middle of nowhere. At the very least I’d hold on to the dog until I could get someone else to take care of them.

Loved the story, Bill. This one hit close to home for me - both literally and figuratively! I’m a short drive from Kingston, NY. I know you used to live in the city, but did you ever live up near the Kingston/Woodstock area? I couldn’t help but wonder as I read this!
