An American Abroad

An Old Man & His Retriever

I’ve seen this man and his dog at least twice a month since I moved to Yuxi.

The Retriever reminds me of my own Sophie back in the States. Neither the man nor the dog speaks English, and the man speaks a Chinese dialect I can’t understand. Still, whenever I see them I come over and pet the dog while the old man beams and proudly runs the dog through all her tricks. I feel like they’re friends of mine even though we’ve never spoken.
