I learned that he saw me at that level; he saw beyond my human masks as a driven television producer and committed skeptic about anything unproven by material evidence. There is other evidence to be believed — evidence of what we know in our hearts and intuition. That discovery, given by a great being in the form of a dog, is an incredible gift.

You will never know what it’s like to have a special dog like Gus in your life until you actually have a special dog like Gus in your life. Before him, I was that person who judged people for behaviorally euthanizing their dogs instead of rehoming them. Now, I support those people and can provide a safe space for them to come to because of the stigma and judgment surrounding behavioral euthanasia. It’s a really hard thing to go through and people that have chosen behavioral euthanasia already beat themselves up enough for it so please try to be kind and compassionate. And if you can’t be either of those things, just leave them alone.Gus was a dangerous dog. It took him knowing me for 3 years to be able to trust me. His adjustment period into a new home put him through a lot of stress and with 1 bite on his record with countless attempts to bite - he was a liability. Cu Unjieng, Philip (December 26, 2020).

She was my first dog I had that was actually just mine. I got her at 9 weeks old and had her two years before I got her sister Rylee. My relationship with Maisie was different than with Rylee. Maisie could always tell when I was upset. When I would leave she would sit by the door or watched the door until I came home. Being a little dog you wouldn’t think she would want to do much exploring, not her. As long as I was going she was going, she would hike with me and get in the water. I feel she 100% trusted me.
