he adopted us not the other way around

Jupiter was a stray when he first came to our gate in Thonglor, skinny and very suspicious of everyone. My wife wanted to feed him so we put out some rice and chicken every night. After 3 weeks he sat on the step waiting for us, and then he came inside when the rain was to strong. That was it. He decided we are his family, and nobody asked us. He is 8 and a half now, and still plays like a puppy when the ball comes out. His favorite thing is the old carpet in the hall. He lies on it like a king and takes the whole space, so we need to step around him to get to the kitchen. Vet check last month was good, but the doctor said his teeth are bad and we need to clean them. He dosent like the brush. We tried a special chew, he ate it in one minute and then looked at us like we were the problem. The neigbors call him the mayor of the soi. He says hello to every dog and every motorbike driver. Maybe thats why the guard at the gate always gives him a little snack. I am not sure who rescued who, honestly. Probably him. We just gave him the rice.
