I saw something in Red today I do not always see, the raw emotion of a therapy dog connecting with a human being in need of him or her. It is a powerful connection, strong, draining and intense. After our friend Mike left today, Red came into the house and collapsed, he seemed drained. It is hard to capture that emotion between a dog and a human, I believe I happened upon it this afternoon. I will remember it for a good long while.
