After a long, draining day, all I wanted was a quiet seat on the train. That’s when a service dog walked over and rested his head gently on my knees.
He didn’t speak, but in his warm gaze, I felt seen. I stroked his golden fur, and the stress I carried melted away with every breath.
Animals have a healing power we can’t explain. In their quiet companionship, they remind us we’re never as alone as we think.
