NEW DOG IN NEIGHBORHOOD

My neighbor and friend across the street may just acquired a new dog. The dog is a female german shepard and friendly with everyone. How my neighbor acquired the dog is sort of spookie. Joe, my neighbor just lost a cat three days past. The cat was killed by a stray boxer dog. Yesterday, around noon, the shepard showed up at their door. Joe and his wife tried to chase it away fearing another dog attack. But the shepard refused to leave. Joe had to leave for an hour or so, leaving his wife sitting on the front steps of their home. The shepard slowly approached Joe's wife and to her surprise the shepard put it's head on her lap. Well, that was it, out came the food dish and the water dish and the shepard spent the night sleeping on the front yard. Joe says he will call the animal control folks today to pick up the dog. Wonder what the wife will say about that. But it's spookie about the dog. Joe looses a cat to a boxer dog and the shepard shows up out of nowhere, wonder if the shepard senses Joe's family loss and wants to take the cat's place. We'll see.
