The first good thing about Rascal was his wiggling, leaping “You’re awake!” greeting at the start of every day. Because the second good thing about Rascal was his irrepressible joy. There is no gratitude like the gratitude of an animal rescued from a life of pain and fear and hunger. The third good thing about Rascal was his undimmed delight in what may have been the first real home he ever had. He turned laundry folding into a game of keep-away, and then a game of tug of war.
