It may be fanciful to suggest, but it would seem the stupid mutt has been missing me as much as I missed him. It's hard to describe how he's been since he came home, but it's clear to me how comfortable he feels here. He knows he's come home.
His temporary owner is a lovely lady, she spoilt him silly, and I'm sure he's fond of her. She loved him too, and has treated him well, but he just wouldn't settle and kept trying to run away. I know how strong my bond with Bobby is, and how painful a period it has been, it really does seem as if it was the same for Bobby too. I've had one very calm and contented dog, mainly on the sofa with me, from the minute we got home.
