Our Dog Dusty
He was a great and loyal collie,
he was just a 6 week old puppy
when we got him from my brother
Dave, his dog just had 6 puppies,
which Dusty was one of them.
So on a beautiful October day
in 1964 we brought him home.
Such a sweet and beautiful Collie
he was, it was love at first sight.
He learned many tricks, I could
see that he was a very smart dog
from the start, I never seen a dog
learn so fast.
I later found out just how smart
he was.
One day we were outside
sitting on the porch, our two
kids were playing when they
attempted to leave the yard,
Dusty ran up to them and
herded them back into
the yard, I could not believe what
I had just seen, what a dog, I thought.
Then one day while the kids were
taking a nap, I looked outside
to see how Dusty was doing
and he was gone.
I looked everywhere for him,
no luck, he was gone.
To this day I wonder what
happened to him, someone
took him and I just hope he found
a good home.
