Then again, at the end of the story, when he now wants to play and his terror is gone...I felt my heart break again. I am grateful that there is help out there for us all, including dogs.

I read YOUR post and got that same lump and tears. And yes, it is DEFINITELY because I relate it (like you did in your closing) to us as humans. <br />I LOVE seeing the calm, firm boundaries and the commitment of people to do it over and over even when the dog is acting crazed and it looks like there is no hope. With that loving and consistent dedication, the dog responds! Just like WE (I) would respond if people could do that for us (me). <br />Thanks!<br />xotearlessnightshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04075956808695556513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3969377097750640088.post-49942051170533611832012-01-02T14:10:46.868-08:002012-01-02T14:10:46.868-08:00I love your story.

And the thought you closed with. 70 is in my future yet and so I have not only my normal albeit vascillating hope, but now a restored great solid hope :) ! Really true. You just broke through some more of my muck. Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
