Thankful Thursday

As I reviewed my 2019 photos, a few leaped out at me as so special. This was one of them.

Hachi was about 6 months old and the true extent of his fears was becoming clear. During the weeks before and after I took this image, he had a few aggressive outbursts that scared me. Yet, our timid Shyla never withdrew her friendship from him. She steadfastly played with him and watched out for him like a big sister.
I didn't realize at the time that we were seeing the beginning of a beautiful bond. These two are so good for each other, and that makes me smile.

When I saw this image in my library, I felt so grateful for Shyla and for her friendship with Hachi.

    Shyla has learned from you; she will never give up on her brother. ♥

    Shyla seems to be just what Hachi needed. It must be so good to see them together.

    Three dogs is hard because there is always one odd dog out, but if two have a wonderful bond, that is so important. Great photo.

    Such an adorable image that speaks volumes about both Shyla and her little 'brother.'
