The Dogs who Came to StayThis is a true account, as true as I have been able to make it, of how two dogs, Lupa and Remus, entered my life and changed everything. So begins a story, simply and endearingly told, about dogs, the people who care for them, and love. It tells how one late autumn day, a frightened, wild, black and tan stray slunk into the backyard of a home shared by two middle-aged bachelors. She had come to hide and have her pups, and no one guessed that this unpromising looking animal - a creature the "experts" said could never be tamed and could never trust - would become the regal, dignified canine called Lupa, who, along with her clever, clownish pup Remus, would take up residence in the handsome Victorian house on a Princeton side street ... and in so many hearts. |
