He saves the dog and cares for it through the night. It reminds him of his childhood. When Billy was ten years old he lived on a farm in the Ozark Mountains of northeastern Oklahoma. He wanted two good coonhounds very badly, he called it “puppy love”, but his papa could not afford to buy him the dogs.

    One day, he went up to the pack and said to them, "I am lonely and tired, and wish to join your pack. I will help you hunt if you let me join." Now, the Wolf brothers, knew Coyote to be a trickster, and didn't believe a word he said. Even so, they decided that it would be amusing to see him try to hunt. And so, they agreed to let him join them, but only if he would help hunt. "There," said one of the five, "There is a rabbit running through this field, go and catch it, Coyote." The five Wolf brothers tried not to laugh as Coyote ran after the rabbit, jumping back and forth after the rabbit, making a fool of himself. Finally, one of the Wolf brothers put Coyote out of his misery, and brought the rabbit home for all six of them to share. Sitting at the den that night, Coyote noticed that all five brothers were looking up into the clear night sky. "What are you looking at?" Coyote asked the youngest of the five. "Oh, I don't know if I can tell you," he said. The next night, the same thing happened, and so Coyote decided to ask the second youngest, "What are you all at?" "I can't tell you," the brother replied. The third and fourth night, Coyote asked the middle and second

    Lenny has a condition know as dry eye. This means that his eyes don't "make tears". So the vet showed me how to put natural tear eye drops, the same as people use, into the dog's eyes. (Oops that should be eye. Lenny had to have one eye removed two days before he came to live with me. The reason for this is very simple- abuse.) Now it's 9:00p.m., time for me to put drops in his eye for the first time. I held the little dog tightly against my chest and carefully poised the bottle above his eye and squeezed a single drop carefully into the fur on his ear! After several attempts some of the drops made it into his eye. The next morning was just as bad. Eventually I had an idea. When I put drops in my own eyes I put them in the corner. I don't hold the bottle directly over my eye. Lenny was squirming and unhappy because twice a day a stranger tried to poke him in the eye with a drippy foreign object. That's enough to scare anyone! Now I had a plan. At 9:00p.m. I did not clamp the little dog against me and stick a bottle over his eye. Instead I gently laid him on the floor. While I petted and talked to him, I held the bottle at the corner of his eye. Two drops later most of the liquid was in Lenny's eye. I was thrilled. Lenny still didn't want the drops, but after only two or three times of this new procedure he no longer resisted, as much. As time went by liquid drops alone were not enough. Now
