My condolences on Mickey’s passing. You’re right, dogs teach us how to be better humans. I just adopted a shelter dog named Darcy, who’s already begun rewiring my brain to live in the moment and appreciate the here and now.
Thanks for sharing this, Andy. Very touching. Being a “dog person” means so much more than simply liking dogs. It means opening your heart to something much bigger than yourself.
