Does anyone really know what a dog thinks and feels? I don’t. Red projects great empathy and compassion, but I know those are not really dog traits, they are human projections of what we want to think dogs feel. It doesn’t really matter, as Red is able to touch the hearts and spirits of people, and do great good. There is a sweetness about him, for sure, and the ability to connect with his eyes and body. It is a powerful thing, a beautiful thing.
