    Dog - Tartof DarknessRedux, @tartredux TartRedux ... We had this experience only our dog comforted a shop owner who had just lost her own dog. Our Dennis boy was wary of people he didn't know but walked over and sat on her foot. Later when I lost him, a total stranger in a local park comforted me.

    Font - 9 Yubs @ThisIsYubs Dogs know emotions. One time in highschool I was going through some really sad emotions and this one classmate of mine was training a guide dog. That sweet puppy kept trying to get permission to go comfort me during that whole class since she sensed my feelings. 7:38 PM Jun 10, 2023 74 Views
