Our neighbor's dog Duke did the strangest thing that I've ever heard of a couple days ago. He was outside playing and came up to their door with a green cloth box in his mouth. Duke is a very large puppy (over 100 pounds at 9 months old) and anything he finds is usually destroyed.
But not this box. He held it somewhat gingerly in his mouth.
Our neighbor brought him inside and took the box from him. Inside that box was a very nice glass Christmas ornament. On that ornament were pictures of dogs and cats. Stage the music from the Twilight Zone.
Her first thought was that we planted it with him, but we're not stupid enough to give "Mr. Destroyer of All Things" something fragile like a glass ornament. Duke is a dog that is so clutzy that he actually ran into a car one time and landed in the ER. Anytime someone makes a clutzy move now, we call it "pulling a Duke".
It's a lovely ornament, and something they'll proudly hang on their tree for years to come. After all, their puppy Duke found it and brought it to them safely.

What a wonderful Christmas story! I bet they'll cherish that ornament!
