My father rarely hears the cat when it's meowing to get in, because he's in the second floor watching TV with high volume because his hearing ain't all that. So the cat manages to jump into a window, onto a swinging plant, hanging from the balcony and then to the balcony. That way she would be visible to him in the window from his chair. Whattakittie.

When my cousin was 7 his dog used to walk him to school (more often than not), and in lunch time my cousin would share half his lunch with him, and at the end of the day he would walk him back. They live in a very small community, so cars hardly ever pass by, maybe 3-4 in an hour. Anyway, this went on till my cousin turned 9 when the dog died of some disease.
