Thanks. To the security guard at the South Gate of a residential compound, name unknown. Following the downpour on the afternoon of 17 September, this newspaper received a request for an acknowledgement, reproduced in full below:

The rain was heavy that day, and I was standing under the eaves of the guard booth. He glanced at me and shifted half a step to one side. Half a step, which is half a dry spot. He does not know me, and I had no intention of knowing him. Thank you. — A dog who prefers not to give a name

This newspaper confirms: the guard accepted no reward of any kind, and has made no response to this notice. This newspaper considers this consistent with his way of doing things, and does not intend to press the matter further.
