Another backyard. Another chained up dog .
This guy lived behind a house that was situated behind another house ,
a duplex I suppose in a normal world, and who knew he was even there?
The house in front was empty, and if it weren’t for the constant barks
we heard while visiting a house across the street, we may never have
even found Leroy. Oh I’m sorry, it’s La-Roy. We need to get it right.
Can’t we get it right?
Apparently we need to get a lot of things right, including, and not
limited to, the correct pronunciation of the name of the dog chained
behind a house, located behind a house in Inkster. La-Roy, as it turns
out, is actually a girl, a friendly girl. Wouldn’t have known it at
first given the first impression she threw out, but given a few seconds
and a few unbelievably good treats, she came around and was ours.
This is the end of our story. Why? Because it’s not illegal to keep a
dog like the sweet Miss. Leroy on a chain. And so there is no more to
tell other than her area was clean and that she had food, water , and a
decent doghouse. (Well, we gave her some fresh water and food)
Dogs like Leroy are all over the place. Although unlike Leroy, they
usually not only have no food, water or decent shelter, they usually
have nothing. That’s right. These dogs usually have nothing: no food, no
water, no decent shelter.
So thanks Leroy for barking while we were visiting the house across
the street, or we would not have known you were there. And lucky for us,
another wonderful
dog to add to our list of addresses.
