Much Needed Attention
Anthony was also reminded that Reggie is a dog, and he needed a lot of attention. “Finally, be patient with him. I have never been married, so it’s only been me in his whole life. He’s used to going everywhere with me, so please include him on your daily car rides if you can.” “He loves to be around people, especially me. Which means this transition is going to be hard with him going to live with someone new.” You’ll never imagine what the old owner told Anthony.

Not His Real Name
Then something odd occurred. The writer told Anthony that the name of Reggie is not actually Reggie! “I don’t know what made me do it exactly, but when I dropped him off at the shelter, I just told them his name was Reggie.” “He’s a clever dog; he’ll get used to it and will respond eventually. But I couldn’t bear to give them his real name. For me to do that, it would feel so final and binding, that handing him over was admitting that I’d never see him again.”
