Day 3

When he was five, Fin got a labrador puppy and lost his father. Each day, after school, his father was there, until one day, after school, he wasn't, but the dog was. Fin named the dog Rupert. Every day after school they waited for two hours together on the front steps for Fin's father to come home. After a month Fin's mother sighed and said, 'The neighbors,' and made them move around the house and wait at the back.
