London, the Dog
When I was eight years old I read a book about the very intelligent German Shepherd TV star named London. The dog encouraged his injured master back to the major league pitcher mound by placing the bat, ball and uniform in front of him every morning.
I never believed that story. I was thinking it was all fiction until one morning I woke up to find my Jack Russell Terrier daughter, Momo, sitting my bedside together with my running shoes, training wear, and her favorite rope ball.
