Bo's Friends: Bingo Willie

Bingo Willie is an adorable little dog, who needed more than city life could offer.

The shelters did not want him because of his breed (part border collie) and a fear problem which he developed after an emergency stay in an unknown kennel. Not knowing what else to do and not wanting Willie harmed, his owners sent him to my Mum so he could have a home in the country. And that's how he became Bingo Willie. We just call him Bingo.

We enjoy talking together.

We especially enjoy running and playing.

Here I am trying to catch Bingo. Notice how he is laughing at me!

Bingo Willie runs very fast!

Bingo loves to talk.

Ben, Bingo and myself have a chat. Bingo is very talkative and he seems to have a Bostonian accent. Mum says he sounds like JFK.

Taking in the sights.

As happy as Bingo Willie is here, he still remembers his little boy. When Bingo came here, his old family had packed "luggage" including a photo album page with a picture of Ethan and Bingo, and a note from Ethan. Whenever Bingo sniffs that page and examines the picture, he whines and covers his nose with his paw.

The bond between a boy and his dog are strong. Ethan remembers his "Willie" too. Here are some letters to and from Bingo Willie and his favorite little boy.

Hi Willie! I miss you everyday. I love you and miss you everyday. I was playing in my sandbox and thought about you today. I told mommy I wanted to send you a letter. I hope you are having a great time there. Please write a note back to me. If you have pictures that would be good. I remember how much fun you and me had and spent together. We will send you your toy that we found. Now mommy gets to write something.

Ethan

Hi Ethan,
This is Willie. My new Mum is helping me write this email. I am so glad that you wrote to me. I miss you too. I cry a little every time I see the picture of you that I brought with me when I came last summer. The picture smells like you and I remember how much I miss you. You will always be my favorite friend, and I will always love you best of all.

I know you will be happy that I am having fun here. I have four other dogs to play with, and we run and jump all the time. I like having lots of room to run, and I like that I always have company and am never alone.

I'll send you some pictures when I can. Here is one of me with a big stick.

Study hard in school so you can write me long letters and draw pictures for me. I'll write back when I can. It's hard to get my paws on the keyboard though, but I will do my best.

Love you always.
Bingo Willie

So far, Bingo Willie seems quite happy to be here, and has shown no sign of fear.
