A user with the nickname Sebulista shared an amazing and heart-warming story on Reddit. He described how he accidentally became a dog owner in the early 1990s. His friends who were moving away gave him a puppy. The narrator had never had a dog and had no intention of getting a pet, but he was a good man and could not say no to his friends. Soon he got attached to the charming dog, a mix of a Labrador and a Pit Bull. He named the dog Wisdom and even registered the domain wisdom.com in the dog's honor as a joke.
According to Sebulista, he got the domain name with no specific purpose and absolutely free of charge. In the early days of the internet, it was enough to fill in a form correctly to receive a domain name. A few years later, the dog died, and its master was inconsolable. He still had not used the domain in any way, but wisdom.com became a good memory of his four-legged friend. The man never considered offers to sell the domain name; he only renewed its registration regularly.
With time the domain market developed and grew strong, wisdom.com became a highly desirable name, and its registration renewal already cost several hundred dollars a year. In the 2000s, it crossed the narrator's mind to find out how much his domain could fetch. The story has a spectacular ending: wisdom.com sold for $475,000.
