Ramona and I were out walking and we both perked up when we saw a shaggy, winsome dog trotting toward us.
“Can we say ‘hello?’” I asked the man walking the dog.
“Absolutely,” said the man.
There was a lot of tail wagging and sniffing.
“What a fabulous looking dog,” I said.
“Thanks,” he said. “People tell us all the time that he looks like Winn-Dixie. Do you know that book?”
“Yes,” I said. “I do.”
“It’s a children’s book,” he said. “I don’t have kids. But I read it anyway–you know–because of the dog.”
Yep.
Because of the dog.
This world.
It’s so small and so large–so full of little miracles.
