Holy Week is a big deal down here in Mexico, the equivalent to the U.S.’s spring break. Schools are out for two weeks, and our city of Garza García is almost deserted.

I went to a convenience store drive thru, and while I waited for the clerk to hand me my merchandise, I glimpsed a doggy bed behind the gate of a house across the street I knew to be uninhabited. In my heart, I knew what this meant. I parked my car next to the house and approached the gate. Sure enough, a maltipoo was exploring the yard, and there was a food and water dish near his bed. I left, but he never left my mind that day.

So I went back the next day. The food was almost gone and there were leaves inside the water dish. The bed was now toppled over a small water drain.

Still No One Home

The dog was shy at first, but did approach me eventually and let me pet him. I tried ringing the bell and went around the house, but no luck. So I left again, but knew I’d be back.
