Some dogs move through a busy home as if they are part of the routine. They follow footsteps, settle near the kitchen, ignore a vacuum, and nap while people talk around them. Other dogs seem to struggle with even ordinary household activity. A dropped…
A dog can sit near a favorite person and seem almost still, as if it is listening to a sound no one else can hear. The ears may turn slightly. The eyes may stay soft and fixed. The body does not demand attention, yet…
