Shane
I never knew his pedigree. Did he even have one, i know not.
I remember his colour though, white. It was i who named him Shane, after a Western movie i had seen in the cinema.
Today i really do not remember the nature of the character Shane, but i do remember, that dog my first pet.

Shane was such a cute dog. Your affection for this little guy who met you at the school bus comes through clearly. I'm sure he's waiting for you across the rainbow bridge also <3

So hard to remember those pets from childhood, it seems so long ago, but I know for sure, they were loved!

I do remember a few of the cats we had as children.... and alas also how they died.

Such warm memories of your dog, Gillena. I would have loved a dog when I was a child. The closest I got was a hamster, but I made up for it as an adult with cats, and a dog that I miss very much. I love the tail wagging at the bus stop after school.

My mother didn't allow us pets (carriers of disease she said) but your story shows the importance of learning to build relationships through animals, Gillena, lovely...

The welcome of a beloved dog is an intimacy most of us can identify with.
