A rescued puppy, a new home

In the rain, stumbling off the curb, and wandering drunkenly into the street.

Cars passing by, drivers focused on texting, not puppies.

I saw him from the distance, unsure as to what it was, this oddly small, creature,

finally realizing  his puppyhood, now striding purposely to snatch the little

creature, wet and cold, shivering.

I admit that he was quite stinky, but he was too cute to leave behind.

This puppy has found a new home, and this man has found a puppy that fills his heart.

Strummer.  A warm home, a bed, someone who loves him. So much better than a cold, wet

streetcorner.  

All good.
