Come Closer

by Sara Gran

That fall I found out when a German shepherd mix followed me home from the train station one night.

This was inspired by a real escapade I got involved in when I lived in Williamsburg involving a stray Doberman. A pimp and a chop shop were involved. My roommates and I ended up finding the Doberman a decent home at a no-kill shelter. Stray dogs, who sometimes formed into packs, were common in these abandoned neighborhoods--again, hard to believe now.
