The sound of dogs breathing ...

(Excerpts from “How to Speak Dog” by Stanley Coren)

“I am here with you,” the dog’s breath said. “We will face this life together.”

“ ...We will hunt together tomorrow.”

... “We will share the sunshine together. We will play together, even though neither of us is any longer a child.”

“If luck turns bad, then when you grieve, I will comfort you. You will never need to be alone again. I promise this. As your dog, I will sing this promise to you, and whisper it to you at night, every night, with my breath.”
