I can't imagine the emotional drain on all rescue workers, human and canine. I don't know how they do it
That's one tired puppy. I don't know how many of them do it except to say they have kind hearts.
I look at Winnie now, and wonder what she would go through to find us were we not to return home? This dog Is just amazing. All she ever asks for Is LOVE, and help going outside for her duties. She doesn't even ask to eat anymore, as she knows when It's coming. Dogs/Pets are essential partners.
We have a medical work dog in our school. That little pup is amazing... won't look you in the eye until released to greet you by her partner. She is on the job, constantly vigilant and knows her business. Animals have knowledge and abilities beyond what they are given credit.
