The Strange Tale of Frances Hope Hough
Three weeks ago, my friend Jos was driving to work when she noticed a dog on the side of the road. It was raining, 26 degrees, and the dog was lying in six inches of standing water. She stopped, assuming the animal had been hit by a car and that she would drop it by the vet as a mercy, but upon hearing a voice, the dog slowly made its way to Jos’s car. She took her home.
