3. Aww... reminds me of the first day after adopting my then 6 month Aussie/Border Collie

I opened the front door to grab the paper before dawn that morning, unaware she was near enough to bolt through the door. But seeing one of my sweet wild rabbits in the yard, off she went down the street to the distant wetlands fields that surround my house. So, I, with my bum ankle and barely dressed ran out after her--knowing I'd never catch a six-month-old athletic dog--who didn't yet even know me. So I stood in the middle of that field--literally sobbing --for 20 minutes and just as the sun was starting to come up, here she comes bounding toward me, tail-wagging. It was then we absolutely bonded.
