Cliche as it is, the best things in life are free. Matty is a very special dog who lives with us, coming to us under dire circumstances. I’m very lucky to have moments like this with him and I’m glad Shando caught this image of him nuzzling into my beard. I love being his person and cannot understand how this senior, vision-impaired dog was wandering around without a microchip or tags for who knows how long, yet he is so affectionate and bonded, requiring so little in return. He’s now infection free and gained weight. He finds his way around just fine and knows our routines.
