Because @th3j35t3r shared a news item about an abandoned dog a bit earlier and I responded by saying I wanted to assault the POS who abandoned the dog, I am inspired now to share the origin story of #Neville . As much / little of that story as I know, to be exact. Settle in for a story, please.

A young man in our neighborhood was on a hunting trip on April 20, 2021. He had driven from NW Missouri to the forests outside of Omaha, NE. ++

He saw that there was a small dog wandering around, and a coyote about to pounce on the dog. He shot the coyote, grabbed the dog, put him in his car, and started driving back to MO. He knew he wouldn't keep the dog, but he at least wanted to put him in the shelter in our hometown. As soon as he got home and opened his car door, the dog jumped out and ran away from him.

Shortly thereafter, I was driving somewhere and this little dog started following my car. ++
