Breaks my heart to see Rover sitting in the rain, waiting for his boy. I was hoping Mom would clue Rover in about Red’s change of plans and keep Rover home . . . but I guess even if she did, his bond with Red was too strong to keep him from the bus stop.
My roommates laughed at me for sending their dog who followed me to work and was waiting outside for me in -30° Fahrenheit. They couldn’t see that was the reason he followed and waited faithfully for me.
That’s sad about the puppy! A soap opera like “Luann?!” Well, maybe Luann is a little—but the kids have grown up and are young adults. That’s the way life is for young adults. Red and Rover is still pretty much a kid’s strip. Now Crankshaft has taken a bit of a dark turn with the book burning bit.

Calvinist1996 asked me to return to this strip, so I have. It seems to have become a soap opera, like “Luann”. But I’ll reserve judgement for later.

Sometimes they seem to speak to each other telepathically when Red is in school. Wonder why they didn’t do that this time.

The name of the strip is Red and Rover, not Red and Ruby. I would like to see Red have other friends, though.

Gonna take a LOT of milky bones to make up for this one Red. Possibly half your dinner next time Mom makes steak.

Nothing stronger than the love of your dog …

“I look up and I see God, I look down and see my dog.
Simple spelling G O D, same word backwards, D O G.
They would stay with me all day. I’m the one who walks away.
But both of them just wait for me, and dance at my return with glee.
Both love me no matter what – divine God and canine mutt.
I take it hard each time I fail, but God forgives, dog wags his tail.
God thought up and made the dog, dog reflects a part of God.
I’ve seen love from both sides now, it’s everywhere, amen, bow wow.
I look up and I see God, I look down and see my dog.
And in my human frailty…I can’t match their love for me."
Song written by Wendy Francisco

Poor Rover. Fortunately, dogs forgive their humans. Unlike cats.

Call it loyalty or stubbornness, but a dog will wait as long as it takes. And on that sad day the owner doesn’t come back, they keep the faith.

A cat would have left a note and gone home (an obscene note). :)
