My sister and her husband live in a small town in Saskatchewan~ They are both retired  ~ so they enjoy going out for a walk  around the town and meet up with the town folks and have a friendly chat ~ or simply enjoy the fresh air and the excercise~ One day as they were walking  they saw a huge dog (Max) and they stopped to pet the dog  ~ The dog was friendly and seemed  to feel at ease with them~so  as time went on~ and each time that they walked by that particular place~ the dog would run out to meet them~ and of course~ they patted the dog and it followed them around as they walked~
 One day the dog found its way to thier house  and began comming to thier house to seemingly visit them~
 Now   he is a regular visitor~ When they hear a *Woof*   or a bang on the door ~  they know  that Max is visiting  ~   Then   they go out ~and toss a ball for the dog~ and  the dog has some play time ~ and later   goes on his way back home to the acerage where he lives ~  not too far away~
 Its amazing ~  that  dog  ~ is so smart   He knows  where   they  live  ~and that  they so kind  ~ and give him  so much  attention~
   I believe that dogs   feel kindness~
 But the question is  ~  Did  they train Max  to  come over to visit ?~ Or has Max trained them~ to come out to play ~when he stops  by   ?   *S*
 Kindness really goes a long way   ~*S*
