She goes where I go; and somehow, when she sees the camera, she knows she'll be waiting a while for my attention. She settles down into half-sleep, dozing yet alert to my every move. I turned my focus away from the daffodils to capture her patience, her love, her devotion. I love her so.
Petting, scratching, and cuddling a dog could be as soothing to the mind and heart as deep meditation, and almost as good for the soul as prayer.
— Dean Koontz, American author
