“I feel a kinship with older dogs. We’re alike in a lot of ways--both looking for someone to accept us exactly the way we are, wishing they’d see that we’re a lot more than the sum of our tattered parts and give us a second chance.” I shrug, looking up at Tammy from where I’m crouching next to Lynx. “I want to restore his faith in us, and maybe he and I will heal each other along the way.”
