My story takes place in Mexico, January of 2001. My best friend Amy, Grandma & Grandpa, Mom, her boyfriend Peter, and their friends Jane and Lynn (and I) all took a winter vacation to Mexico. And most of the time Amy and I would stay at the hotel and lay around the beach and get food around the resort and everything. But twice we went out to eat and walked there. The first time, once we all got across the street this dog kept walking in front of us and around us, and would start barking at any other dog that was around. When we got to the restaurant he actually came up on the steps and stood with us until we were seated, then he just kind of disappeared. But shortly after we walked down the steps of the restaurant there he was again!! And he walked us back to the hotel. The second time, he was there again, except this restaurant was further away, and after a while he left, because it wasn’t his territory. But as soon as he was gone a little boy on a bike came up to us and said “Toni’s??” we said yes and he took us there. (Then asked for money..) And again when we walked back as soon as we were back in his territory there he was again. It was that night we learned his name was Poncho. A few days later we were about to leave and Amy and I walked out to the edge of the hotel wall and was asking the guard where Poncho was. He told us he was off duty. And told us that he was a trained guard dog and actually got paid (in food) to escort people. We thought that was so cool! Poncho really was a great dog, and a great guard dog!! The Sad Ending Becuase We Didn't Get To Say Goodbye To Poncho.
