Many years ago, my across-the street-neighbor and friend, Preston Dyer â many in Waco know Preston as the founding director of Baylor Universityâs Social Work Program
â called and asked me to come quietly to his back door. My 6-year old daughter, Susan, was in his den, sitting on the floor, holding a few-days-old poodle puppy. For several afternoons, Preston whispered, Susan had come over, sat on the floor, and held that puppy for an hour or so.
âBob,â he said, âI will give that puppy to Susan if it is OK with you.â
I had never had a pet. My mother could not imagine having such a creature in the house. But watching Susan cradle that puppy, my heart melted, and we had us a dog. In delightful gratitude, Susan said: âDaddy, you can name him.â That is how we came to have a âPlatoâ in our house, named after, well, Plato.
