I have had a lot of wonderful dogs, but I have never had a dog like Red, he doesn’t ever lick or even bark, he speaks through his eyes, which are bright and expressive. Today, he went with me to Pompanuck Farms to talk with Scott Carrino and Scott always kneels down and looks at Red and Red speaks to him – and to me – with his eyes, which show a different range of emotions. I know that dogs have some emotions, but I also do not believe they have ours and I do believe Red is seeking to communicate things with his eyes – I see in them affection, healing, other things I can feel but cannot describe.

We do not have a language to communicate with animals, yet I see Red has a language, and he uses his eyes to send messages.
