In the following days Hermes came along everywhere they went. On the beach he didn’t mind his new red leash and sat under the shade of a tree while they went swimming. He quickly learned how to wait outside a shop if dogs were not allowed. He seemed to have been trained to obey any rule in exchange for a bit of attention and was democratic in his preferences: at night he invariably left his makeshift bedding and randomly chose which bedroom to join, so that the two couples didn’t compete but joked about the co-parenting scenario. Everywhere they went, people stopped to cuddle Hermes and children wanted to hold him; everyone agreed he was the sweetest dog they had ever seen. Each time someone stopped to fondle him, the four of them always made sure to tell how they had found him late at night on a deserted road, but nobody seemed to know whether the dog belonged to anyone. They also kept checking the Facebook page where Jacopo had posted a blurry photo, but nobody claimed him. As days went by and half the island was now aware of the existence of the lost puppy, they felt encouraged to treat Hermes as their own.
