The school dog

Our school has a dog. His name is Lumberto. This is a Dutch name, made into Mexican.

He was rescued from the street by a school director Wouter, so he's street smart. When the bus comes, he's straight on, and hides under a seat. If the dog has no apparent owner, the driver won't try to get him off, so Wouter rides, and pretends not to know him. Wouter rides a bike to school each day, and Lumberto runs alongside him.

I don't think he's ever worn a lead. He's had his collar stolen twice. Wouter even retrieved one of the collars from a neighbours dog. C'mon, did he think he'd get away with it, living in the same area? In the end, now he has a padlock on it.

Lumberto is one cool dog.
