On a small little farm in Nebraska there was a
family who had a dog named Reata. There was
something special about Reata. She had many skills.
She could out run a rabbit. She could catch a bird in
mid flight, But her most amazing skill was escorting.
Every night when we come home from town
Reata is waiting for us a quarter of a mile away. She
Would get ahead of the car and she would just run as
fast as she could. Every time I watch her escort us I
feel like I could just take off with her. When she runs
with the pickup her ears flop up and down, her tail
wags. Whenever I see this I feel that she could fly
and I just want to take off with her.

Farm dogs are the best! They have room to run, and they protect and love their family. I could just see Reata running with the pickup. Your story took me back to my farm days, watching our dog run with the pickup. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful story. Thanks for sharing it, Landis!
ReplyDeleteDogs always look so happy when they are running! You can tell that they are having the time of their life!
