Velvet, the writer’s beloved ‘golden oldie’. — Lai Mei Wah
She came on a dark and stormy night. This is how my dog’s journey with my family began.
As the family sat down for dinner, we heard whimpering coming from the front of our house. It was raining cats and dogs. On investigation, we found a drenched and miserable puppy in the bushes near the drain. We took the poor puppy in and cleaned her up. We tried to check with our neighbours if anyone had lost a puppy but to no avail. So Velvet was here to stay.
