Dang it, Anne. I almost did drop a tear but I'm not supposed to do that because I am a guy.
Ricochet reminds me of myself. The teaching job I just lost may have been an ill fit, after all. Not in teaching, in general, but teaching in that environment, though the students felt I was a success. But I have a new job and maybe my place isn't being in charge of anything more than one section of a project but there, I can teach helpers one or two at a time, without a misapplied book, if that is what I am supposed to do in life. Which I did before. Teaching on the side of a cardboard box that we receive materials in.
But even if not that, the story is still uplifting, in the progression of the dog and the progression of the original handler, with her humility evident. Did you see the surfer walking at the end, finally? Proof positive that dogs are magical creatures.
