Otis and The Sunshine Pie and Coffee Café

Otis was a very good man. He went for a walk every morning to start his day off right. He loved to feel the sun on his face.

This particular morning when he started off on his walk, he heard the screech of car tires. A beautiful little dog was hit by a car. Otis stood horrified as the lifeless little body was lifted and taken to the roadside. The dog was most certainly dead. He looked at the little pooch. He had one black ear and one white and was just the type of dog Otis had always wanted.

The incident was so upsetting that Otis took off running as fast as I could. Breathless he found himself standing in front of a small pie shop he’d never noticed before. The sign read: "The Sunshine Pie and Coffee Café". He stepped in and took a seat.

The waitress brought him his coffee. Looking at his distressed face, she asked if he was okay. As he told her about the accident he had just witnessed, his eyes filled with tears. She put her hand on his shoulder and said, “I’ve got just the thing for you.”

Quickly she returned and brought Otis a piece of Sunshine Pie and told him to make a wish. She claimed that after eating a piece of her Sunshine pie people became millionaires and even found the love of their lives. She said, “Make it a good one!”

Feeling better for her kindness, Otis smiled and thanked her. In short order he put a few dollars on the table and decided to continue on his walk.

As he opened the door to the Café, a beautiful little dog with one black ear and one white stood wagging his tail and looking up at Otis. He bent down to the pooch and said, “You want to go home with me, buddy?”
