W: The store closes half an hour earlier from November to February, so we’d better hurry.

The Dickerson family has a routine they follow every day. They wake up, the kids get ready
for school and then the parents set off for work, but on Tuesday, February 24, 2015, a dog changed
their routine.
As Mr Dickerson was leaving for work, he heard the cries of a dog coming from his yard. He
went to check on the noise and found a young dog in his garden frozen to the ground. Mr
Dickerson rescued the small creature and immediately took it inside. The family would often find
small animals in the garden, such as small rabbits or squirrels, but they’d never found a dog there.
Inside, the dog acted like it was hungry and so Mrs Dickerson put some dog food into a bowl.
It went straight for the bowl and ate up everything there.
At first, the parents intended to look for a good home for the dog, since they already had two
parrots and thought that it wouldn’t get along with the birds. However, the kids fell in love with
the dog, so they decided to keep it. Now the dog lives a very happy life with the family.
