Dog story

I had recently split up with my husband and wasn't in a good place emotionally, morose, depressed and crying a lot. My husband had left a few days beforehand to his home town in South Africa. I was left in the UK with our Cocker Spaniel. I would walk the dog every day on the fields behind the golf course where my husband used to work. Occassionaly there would be other dog walkers, on this walk there was one other person on the other side of the field that I could barely see. My dog was off the lead and began to run towards the other dog. The other dog also off the lead began to run towards my dog. My dog turned and ran back towards me with the other dog in pursuit where she lay in submission at my feet. The other dog was large, about three times bigger than my cocker and unusual in as much as I had never seen one before, it was very furry and resembled a huge teddy bear. When the owner came over I asked him what type of dog it was as I was curious. He replied that the breed was a Leonberger. I stood open mouthed in shock and then laughed for the first time in a very very long time. My husband's name was Leon Burger!
