It NEVER ceases to amaze men what incredible beings dogs are! This is my sweet boy, Riley. πI adopted him in January 2020 at the beginning of COVID. Riley has come such a long way from those early days as a frightened young boy, who was afraid of so many things and who continues to struggle with pica. With time, patience, and lots of love, Riley has become a great walking buddy, loves his massages, and is my "go to" dog when doing energy healing sessions. He is VERY receptive to them. Today I held out my hands and asked him (non-verbally using some animal communication skills), "Do you know how much I love you? If you can feel my love, can you do something to show me you understand?" He looked at me with those big brown eyes and began to lick my hand, which is something he does NOT normally do. This filled me with joy that he feels loved and knows he belongs!!! Victories such as this is why I do what I do and why my passion is to do what I can to help animals, especially dogs.
