Much Needed Attention
Reggie is a dog, and he requires a lot of attention, as Anthony was reminded. “Finally, be gentle with him. I’ve never been married, so he’s known only me his entire life. He’s used to accompanying me everywhere, so please include him in your daily vehicle rides whenever possible.” “He enjoys being around people, especially me. That means he’ll have a difficult adjustment because he’ll be living with someone new.” You won’t believe what the old owner told Anthony.

Not His Real Name
Then something strange happened. The author informed Anthony that Reggie’s name is not truly Reggie! “I’m not sure why I did it, but when I handed him off at the shelter, I just told them his name was Reggie.” “He’s a smart dog; he’ll get used to it and respond eventually.” But I couldn’t bring myself to tell them his real name. If I did that, it would feel so definitive and bound, as if turning him over meant conceding I’d never see him again.”
