A Dog never forgets.

During the war, my father used to up end the sofa during the air raids and the children, myself included, used to live under the table sheltered by the sofa. The collie dog we had, used to join us and watched us intently as we collected all the cushions for our comfort.
Eventually, the dog would collect the cushions as well and join in hiding under the table.
After the war, when the fire engine sounded, she would still collect all of the cushions under the table.
