May 20. “Button, the stray we’ve named Sin who sits outside the consulate is extremely sensitive.”

“There’s no doubt that our four-legged friends are sensitive.”

“I’ll tell you why I made that remark: A couple of days back, when my younger daughter and I took another car for a change to go and feed them, we drove past Sin without him perking his ears up or getting up to follow us to the spot where Shabby usually sits and waits for us. Yet, when my daughter takes her vehicle, he jumps up the minute he spots the car and runs alongside!”

“I have noticed that as well.”

“I have known all along that dogs are color-blind. What then does Sin see or smell for him to react in that manner?”

“Like you said, they are sensitive.”
