That last part resonates - my boy is 12 now (can’t ever seem to type that without tears appearing) 💜

This one really resonates with me, as I'm in the earlier stages of the process with my own dog. It's gratifying to watch the balance slowly shift from my apologies to others' compliments. Mostly, what I love about this is your...unpacking?...of the word "good" as we apply it to dogs, to include fulfillment, trust, and understanding. Every dog would be a "good" dog if they received those things. Good dog, Scout.
