Three years ago today at 11:17 I snuck off to Wawa after filing a story, got a coffee, and sat down on the Rodin Museum steps to listen to music and enjoy an unseasonably warm February day. A dog rounded the corner, saw me, made a beeline to say hi, and jumped in my lap. It was Bruce. - ThreadSky

The answer is always, "yes, you need a dog." Congrats on finding each other.

The rescue volunteer walking him said “do you need a dog?” I didn’t think I did. Turns out I did. Twitter (back when it was good) bullied me into thinking I should do it. Best decision I ever made.

This the type of bullying I like

I spend a fair bit of time looking at dogs on rescue websites. Someone asked me if I was looking to adopt a dog. I said, "I'm not looking to adopt *a* dog, I'm looking to adopt *the* dog." Bruce is your *the* dog ❤️

Every year on this day we go back to the steps at 11:17. I give him a little treat, snap a pic, and thank him for saying hi. Love you, buddy.

Bruce is such a good boy. I love the go-fast stripe. And the ears. And the face. And the paws. And the name. Please give steak and belly rubs from the internet people.
