I just had a lovely experience. [View all]

I had to pick up a Rx so decided, since there's snow in the forecast, to also stock up on cat food. There was a young family in the pet department, and the dad had a tiny puppy snuggled in his coat. Of course, I asked to see it. He showed me but when I said something more, he said, with a thick accent, that he didn't speak English. So, I asked 'Espanol?' and he nodded his head. I drew back on my college Spanish and said that it's such a tiny dog. He got the biggest smile on his face.

I think that's far better than calling ICE, don't you?
