So, I got to watch true love blossom right in front of mine eyes today. My daughter [Kayasoleil Rosette/15] has unique needs and a particular reservation with contact. Laila [St. Bernand/3 or 4] is my little brother's dog whom I visit when he is away. Laila and Kaya had met but only briefly a few times. Today, we visited Laila and it was love at first sight.. Kaya was skeptical but Laila was patient and persitant: she was making a lifelong friend before the day was done. Kaya relented and let the love in/out. I melted. In this photo Kaya was rubbing her scruff sideways [which isnt comfortable] and gripping her roughly but as you can see, Laila just played her position and loved every second. At one point, they were both shaking from the aggressive/excited tailwag and Kaya was laughing so hard she snorted. Laila would make an amazing service dog but has no idea because she is just showing love to her homegrrl. I credit her and my brother @javerys_ for being a great poppa, thanks for sharing her with us: Kaya, Laila & I appreciate you. #lifeiabeautiful #sunisshining #kayaishappy (at Loudoun County, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt9Ing_HQe9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1inemf77joas9
