Puppies For Sale
Image via Wikipedia A farmer had some puppies he needed to sell. He painted a sign advertising the pups and set about nailing it to a post on the edge of his yard. As he was driving the last nail into the post, he felt a tug on his overalls. He looked down into the eyes of a little boy.
“Mister,” he said, “I want to buy one of your puppies.”
“Well,” said the farmer, as he rubbed the sweat off the back of his neck, “these puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money.”
Home After 5 Years, 850 Miles Later

That was in 2003.
Last weekend, Rocco came home – after being found in Georgia.
The prodigal pooch turned up in a shelter 850 miles away in Hinesville, and by a combination of chance and chip – the one embedded in his back – was reunited with Natalie, now 11, and her family.
How Rich Are We?
Image via WikipediaOne day a father and his rich family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose to show him how poor people can be. They spent a day and a night on the farm of a very poor family.
When they got back from their trip, the father asked his son, “How was the trip?”
“Very good Dad!”
“Did you see how poor people can be?” the father asked.
“Yeah!”
“And what did you learn?”
Praying Dog
Conan, a Chihuahua, sits on his hind legs, raises his paws and puts them together at the tip of his nose.
“He may be showing his thanks for treats and walks,” says a priest at Jigenin temple on Okinawa island.
Priest Joei Yoshikuni would like Conan to meditate, but “it’s not like we can make him cross his legs”, he says.
“Basically, I am just trying to get him to sit still while I meditate,” he told Associated Press news agency.
Mr Yoshikuni said it only took Conan a few days to imitate the motions of praying.
