Bandit

 

August 12, 2006. 

The day Bandit adopted us. 

He showed up looking lost. 

With two collars but no tags. 

We put signs up trying to find his rightful owners.  After about two weeks I got a phone call

from a guy who described him right down

to the color of his collar. 

Said he thinks he belonged to a family

that lived near him that moved,

leaving Bandit behind. 

We were calling him Jack, but the

guy said they called him Bandit. 

I turned to the dog and called him by that

name and he turned his head to look at me. 

He’s been Bandit ever since.
