Dog Naps

No one knows what its like to be a dog though many believe they’ve been dogs in dreams. There’s a certain kind of running dream I suspect I share with my dogs, the one in which my feet can’t move fast enough. Every dog has this dream and every person on earth has had it. “Put your hand by your dogs nose when she’s having a nightmare,” says a friend, a guide dog trainer,”she’ll smell your scent; then you can wake her up by calling gently.”

 

The essence of companionship: how we help one another in and out of dreams.
