The Dog Next Door
佚名 / Anonymous
When I was about thirteen years old， back home in Indiana， Pennsylvania， I had a dog named Bounce. He was just a street dog of indeterminate parentage who had followed me home from school one day. Kind of Airedaleish but of an orange color， Bounce became my close companion. He' d frolic alongside me when I' d go into the woods to hunt arrowheads and snore at my feet when I' d build a model airplane. I loved that dog.
