Kate Howard was sitting outside her new home on an early
autumn afternoon, when a woman walked by with a pit bull. The dog took one look
at Kate, sat down on her lawn and refused to move. “All dogs are perfect,” Kate
said, “But she was particularly charming.” The dog’s owner was trying to get her
rolling again but she was staying put. She called to her, “Winnie, come on!”
Last Thanksgiving, Kate had fostered a soft wiggly baby puppy she named Winnie.
“I cried for three days after she went up for adoption, worrying about whether
she’d find a good home. I just moved into this house a couple months ago, and
it turns out I’m only a block away from Winnie! It was beyond comforting for my
first foster dog to turn up on my front lawn, her fur still soft and her ear
still crooked and her tail still wagging.”
