Way Back When Wednesday - Our puppy "Puppy"

The one and only dog we've ever had, or more accurately taken care, of was Puppy.  He wasn't really ours.  We found him (or her, we never really checked) in a box in the stairwell of our apartment building.  The box was just bigger than himself with minimal food and water.

We were worried he was abandoned and didn't want him to die, so we took him to our apartment and called Mr. Kim.  If the dog had a home, Mr. Kim would be able to figure it out.  He made a few calls, called us back and told us that Puppy belonged to a family in our building but they would let us take care of him if we wanted.  They had a new baby and were worried that the "accidents" Puppy was having on the floor would make their baby sick.

The last thing on our minds was having a dog, but we wanted him to have a better life than in a box, so we took him home.  We almost had Puppy house trained when we went to Seoul for a vacation.  The owners said they'd take him while we were gone and when we came back, Puppy was gone!
