Our pets give us unconditional love and attention. As the prayer says, “Please God, help me to be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.” Well, something like that.              

Somehow the attention of one's dog (or, I admit for some, one’s cat) can ease stress, calm nerves, and offer the feeling of being loved – no matter how difficult the day or situation. Beau and Theo have just such a relationship.
