A dog's window on the world


Pretty cute story. Patches is an Australian Shepherd who lives next door to Emily's parents. They have a long-time relationship with Patches. Every day, when they returned home, they slipped a dog biscuit treat through the picket fence to Patches. In return, Patches offered them adoring friendship as only a dog can do and even barked once in awhile to warn them of possible intruders in the neighborhood. Boy, did they have the best of both worlds. Man's best friend for the small price of a bag of dog biscuits. (And no doggie doo doo clean-up duty.) Problem: the fence blew down and the neighbors put up a new one...except this one wasn't picket. Emily's parents missed Patches so much, they convinced the neighbors to build a window in the fence, so the doggie friendhip could continue. Now Chance is the one reaching through the fence with a dog biscuit.
