situation: I little stray puppy appeared in my driveway yesterday.  I fed him and contacted the local pet shelter.  No one had reported him missing though they took his details incase anyone phoned up.  I have never been much of an animal person but I couldnt believe how much I felt for this poor wee pup.  I brought him in and since no one claimed him he is now officially one of the family and definitely the happiest, most loyal member.  Always pleased to see me and he has just stolen my heart.
