Found a sweet pup wandering around my back alley this day. It was super hot out, so I brought him onto my side patio, gave him some water and food (turns out, dogs like cooked rice), and we hung out for a few hours until Animal Control picked him up. I spent a few days trying to find someone to adopt him, but luckily, his owners claimed him and put a happy ending on the story.
Man, I want a dog.
