\nA boy lives in a country home and very much wants a dog for a pet.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>At night a metal statue of a dog in his front yard comes to life and plays with him until the sun comes up. And the part that I always loved was when my father would act out how stiff the dog would get as he tried to race back to his pedestal before dawn and one foot remained raised when he froze in place.
\nCan you help?<\/p>\n
