the most love i had for a dog wasnt even my own but belonged to my neighbor.
misty, the little pom greeted me every day to and from school for 13 years when i was a kid. she sat outside unattended on the front lawn on her large unfenced corner lot and never wandered off.
one summer in 5th grade she even saved my life by running in front of my bike and cutting me off before i reached the alley. luckily she did because a car flew up the alley a few seconds after without stopping. how did she know?
then as i grew older and was half done HS, i saw her less and less until i noticed she wasnt around anymore
i love my cats and dogs but for some reason i loved misty.. the lovable neighborhood dog the most
