Gripping on to Merlin, her guide dog’s harness, she stopped at Robert; homeless, and the solitary person she could trust.
‘You alright lass?’ he asked.
Sarah’s shadows halted in their own solitary conversation. ‘Lay down,’ she said, and Merlin joined his Jack Russel pal on his cosy blanket.
‘Thanks for the coat Miss, best I’ve ever ad.’
‘No worries, it’s freezing out here; I wish you would think about going to a shelter.’
‘They won’t take Molly; besides, I am snug as a bug in a rug, got me sleeping bag, a friendly bunch of stars, and brilliant company; what else do I need?’
So good, Diana ❤ ❤

We have a homeless man who I see at a certain traffic light now and then. He also has a dog and this reminded me of him. There are no shelters for men in South Africa.

Companionship means so much, pups and human, esp. in the most desperate of situations.

It is, and often they look after their dogs, better than they look after themselves.
