I know dogs sense helplessness, I had a dog when I was a child that wouldn't let me get close to water and would start tugging @ me if I started climbing when I was a toddler, I can barely remember it but he was my built in babysitter, Shep, he was an english sheperd, big furry black dog. Lets remember our animal guardians today no matter how large or small.

What a beautiful story. I am a huge dog lover and had a german shepherd until recently. I will definitely own more dogs but will wait til the time is right.

They really do become your best friends.

Thanks for the comment. I've very rarely been without a dog in my life but you are right the time has to be right.
I'm amazed @ what they do every day, like my lab just picked up a tree limb and drug it around for awhile like it was some huge prize!! LOL
