Dear Arthur,

I'm going to tell you one of my happier memories today. It was how I got Bruno. I was walking around the Lake of Avalon and I felt a wet smudge on my hand. So I turned around to see if anyone was there but there wasn't. I kept feeling this pressing on my heels or a sound of a horse running. I yelled your name into the darkness. Hoping it was you trying to tell me something or some sign that you were coming back. Anything that would give me hope that the Great Dragon's last word was true. After I yelled at the sky wishing that you would hear me. I gave up.

I sat down on the bank watching the water hit the bank spraying me slightly. I felt this presence. A comforting feeling. A companionship that I hadn't felt in years. That's when my thoughts were washed away by a slobbery lick on my face. I pulled back and wiped my face on my sleeve and there I saw him. The reason for all my feelings. A presence, a comforting feeling and companionship. A giant grey dog sitting next to me. Staring into my eyes. I looked for a collar but couldn't find one. I took him come. Settled him down then went to bed.

The next day I took him to the vet to see if he had a microchip but he didn't. The clinic offered to take him but I told them I would be able to take are of him. They looked doubtfully at me but I had to assure them that I know how to take care of such a large dog.

That's the story of how I got Bruno

From your ever waiting friend
