Rosie Found a Kitten in the Drain

Rosie is a five-year-old mixed-breed dog who thinks every hole in the ground is a treasure chest, so when she started whining at the drain outside our Sukhumvit soi, I assumed she'd found a dead rat. Nope. Inside the grate was a tiny kitten, soaked and furious. I wedged my hand in while Rosie stood guard with her tail wagging like nothing was wrong. The kitten now lives with us under a new name, Bean, and Rosie has appointed herself babysitter.
