I participate in a fun photo experience group called WE. This was one of the entries. I loved the story so much I wanted to share it with other animal lovers. Interesting how we can all be connected through play?

... the story....

Sang belonged to my roommate Ray Cox. Ray and I lived on Quidi Vidi Road with Sang. Every once in awhile, usually on a Sunday, Sang would vanish from the back yard and be gone for quite some time. We would look, unsuccessfully for her and hours later she would turn up again overjoyed at being home. It was a mystery.
One day, it happened to be a Sunday, I was wandering along the waterfront with my camera and looked ahead and thought I saw Sang. This was afternoon and she had been missing since morning. I got as close as I could without getting her attention and took this shot. Just after this she saw me and trotted over wagging her tail as if to say, "What are you doing here?"
I went up to the fellow whose head was in the porthole and asked about Sang. It turns out this was fishery boat that often was in port on Sundays. Sang had been visiting for some time and was handsomely fed for her visits.
My question was, "How did she know when the boat was in?" Their berth was a good mile from Ray's place and it was only certain times she disappeared. I've always thought it was a great story and I managed to capture it on film.
