An adopted dog shares a special moment with its new owner, just like the many loving moments shared between JJ and his human family. Photo: 123rf.com
MY family’s beloved brown pet mongrel with a black nose first appeared at our gate with a broken leg in September 1994. I nursed him to recovery by adding pounded calcium tablet to his food for a couple of days. Thereafter he kept coming back to spend his time under the coconut tree.
Before long, JJ became a part of our family. He lived indoors, sometimes secretly sleeping on the sofa. Secretly because we forbade him to do so but he would jump on it when no one was at home or during the night (although I occasionally caught him enjoying the warmth of the sofa, upon going downstairs early in the morning or when I returned home).
