Slightly shocked, I explained to the caller where and how I’d found the Labrador, describing the roadside where I first encountered him with his swollen face. The memory of that moment made me appreciate even more the time and effort I’d spent helping him feel safe. The person on the other end listened closely, taking notes about the rescue and the journey that had brought the dog into our lives.
