Mechanic squinted into the pre-dawn darkness and saw, sitting on the passenger seat, a small brown paper bag. He opened it curiously—inside lay a thermos of steaming coffee and a note scribbled in childish handwriting: 'Thanks for everything, Mr. Fix-it!' Below were two tiny prints—a paw print and a hoofprint. Turns out, the neighbor's dog had driven the truck while he slept.
