The wonderful thing about dogs is that they’re so wonderfully codependent. We have to admit, sometimes grudgingly, that codependency in people is a problem. With dog, however, those adoring puppy eyes that say, “I’m nothing without you” are irresistible!
The whole no-worry strategy may come from a dog’s belief that his/her human can fix anything, do anything, make any miracle hapen.
We lost our beautiful black Lab Dougie three years ago, and I still miss him. I guess maybe the codependency wasn’t all on Dougie’s side!
