It’s been sometime since Nancy viewed his belongings. The toys she bought him lay exactly how he left them. His dishes sat idly in want of use.
She recalled the day she’d rather forget. Sparrows chattered. Neighbourhood children frolicked under a beaming sun. Nancy smiled, seeing her favourite fellow wildly shaking a rubber chicken. Next time she glanced from behind a window, he was gone. The gate had been opened.
Years later, a stranger phoned. He had reason to believe that someone belonging to her was spotted five-hundred miles away from where she lived.
Her retriever, Riley, was returning home.
