Lonely Dog

This is a hunting dog on a farm -- but by now his hunting days are over -- he is half blind and half lame. One night, last month, he went to sleep at his master's doorstep. In the morning he was still there. It seemed that he hadn't moved. In fact he had trotted a vast distance in the night, to visit another dog on another farm. People found it hard to believe how far he had wandered.
