This article is simply gorgeous!
This is an article that was recently published in The Dodo. Indeed, published on the 11th November this year.
I started this post late in the day yesterday and was anxious to have it published before the evening took over. But the story is so clear and obvious, and lovely, that further rambling words of introduction would have got in the way.
So, here we are:

Rescue Dog Waits All Day For The Man Who Saved Her To Get Home From Work
“She hit the jackpot” ❤️
Published on the 11th November, 2021
Earlier this year, Sara Fitzwater’s husband arrived to one of the coal mines he visits for work when he spotted a dog nearby, seemingly alone. He wasn’t sure where she’d come from, but after seeing her there again on later visits, it became obvious.
“Someone had dropped her off in the area,” Fitzwater told The Dodo. “Each time [my husband] would go to this mine, she would run to him and smile at him.”
The dog had won his heart. And he had landed a special place in hers.
During one fateful visit to that mine, Fitzwater’s husband decided to bring the sweet dog home with him to keep her safe and loved as his family’s new pet. They named her Sadie Kate.
The abandoned pup’s eager wait to be rescued was over. But each and every day since, there’s still something Sadie Kate so clearly looks forward to.
And that’s her hero coming home.
“I work from home, so I started noticing her just looking down the street waiting on him and thought it was cute,” Fitzwater said. “I never dreamed she would continue doing it every day.”
For Sadie Kate, it’s the sweetest homecoming.
The dog, once without a friend in the world, had found her soulmate.
And he’s always worth the wait.
For Fitzwater, it’s no surprise that Sadie Kate is so smitten with her husband. It seems he’s the type of man whose kind, caring spirit is easy to love.
“I tell her all the time she hit the jackpot when she smiled at him,” Fitzwater said.
ooOOoo
Sadie Kate is quite clearly now the name of the dog.
Because Sadie is a dog that has come home!

Thank you, Val. Dogs are the masters of habit especially if they have the background that SadieKate has.

Sorry for the few hours in replying to you but delighted the article made your ‘heart smile’. What a lovely phrase!

I keep thinking that one day you’ll come to terms with the reality of asynchronous communication, Paul, but I have to admit that I’m beginning to think you never will 😉

Ah, sorry about that. It’s not important. I was referring to your penchant for apologising for your ‘delays’ in responding to comments here on your blog. Perhaps my ‘Asynchronicity: Or, what constitutes a ‘timely’ response?‘ post from last year will explain.

I haven’t yet read, or rather I have read it and don’t recall the points made, but I am old-fashioned and subscribe to the notion that anyone who takes the trouble to comment should be given a prompt reply. Now I understand that this is far from practical some times but that doesn’t remove the feeling.

You’re a queer old bird sometimes, Paul. (But I freely admit that I am, too.)
