Posted on my Quora feed:
"An old tired-looking dog wanders into a guy's yard. He examines the dog's collar and feels his well-fed belly and knows the dog has a home.
The dog follows him into the house, goes down the hall, jumps on the couch, gets comfortable and falls asleep. The man thinks its rather odd, but lets him sleep. After about an hour the dog wakes up, walks to the door and the guy lets him out. The dog wags his tail and leaves.
The following day, the dog returns and scratches at the door. The man opens the door, and the dog enters, proceeding down the hallway. It jumps onto the couch, settles in, and once again drifts into a peaceful slumber. The man allows the dog to rest. Approximately an hour later, the dog awakens, heads towards the door, and the man grants it permission to exit. With a wagging tail, the dog departs.
This goes on for days. The guy grows really curious, so he pins a note on the dog's collar: "Your dog has been taking a nap at my house every day."
The next day the dog arrives with another note pinned to his collar: "He lives in a home with four children -- he's trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?'
