Canine Codependency
...like looking in a mirror.
A bored terrier is a pitiful sight. He looks up at me through deep, dark eyes imploring me to strike a match and light this day on fire. He waits impatiently, yet with abiding obedience befitting his noble breed. Soon he begins to stretch and wag his nubby tail at my slightest gesture. What was it which first brought humans and dogs together? Now we both stare at each other – our overwhelming needs and our need to be needed.
