We
read a lovely story a few years ago about a mutt, a marine, and a miracle. I guess Julia read it again in school. I had forgotten about it and as she told us
about it, it slowly came back to me. I took
a while based on fragments of what I remembered and how she related it. But with Google, I found it: http://www.b2c.hachettebookgroup.com/features/storyofnubs/.
As
she was telling the story, she mentioned how when the caravan left, the dog ran
after it, ultimately tracking the car I think it was hundreds of miles. Julia paused as she related this fascinating
and unbelievable detail about the story.
She has a great sense of humor.
With impeccable timing, she paused, raised an eyebrow, and stated in
deadpan about the marines’ caravan and the unlikely odds that the dog could
find the marines, “I guess they didn’t make any turns.” J
