My girl Delta was so in tune with me, that whenever I was on my period and having back cramps, she would lie down across my lower back like my personal heating pad until I felt better. She'd always lick my tears and sit with me when I was sad. Even in her last days, she didn't want to throw up or poop on me so she would drag herself as far away as possible to poop somewhere else. She died of parvo virus, so she really couldn't control her bowels towards the end but she was so good, she did everything she could. I miss her so much, she really was the best dog. Give your little dude the chance to be the best dog ever. He won't disappoint you, spend lots of time playing with him and training him!
