My dog Emma was a stray when I found her; I had been watching and admiring the ragged puppy from my porch for about an hour. She was thin and dirty, but what made me fall in love with her were her ears, of all things; one pointed straight up and the other flopped down. I could tell that beneath all that grime was the pet I’d always wanted. I had to figure out a way to get her.
Her “home” was the cold concrete under a car in front of my house. She would venture out from under the car only when she was sure no humans were near. She would creep up to the sidewalk and give me a look that seemed to say that she wanted to be friends, but as soon as I approached her, she would scurry back under the car. When I looked under the car, she whimpered. I could tell that she needed me.
I had an idea. I went inside and got my mother’s leftover beef stew and placed it in a bowl beside the car. I could hear her sniffing from underneath the car, noticing the meal I had left for her. She stuck her head out from under the car and looked up at me with her big brown eyes. Slowly, she inched toward the bowl and began to eat. I stroked her head slowly, to let her know I was her pal. When she was finished, I picked her up and carried her home; she couldn’t have weighed more than ten or fifteen pounds. I’ve had her ever since.
