Derby made me cry today. During our daily walk at the park we happened upon an older man pushing his mother in a wheelchair. It was pretty apparent from the way she was bent into a near fetal position and the expression on her face that she had some form of advanced dementia. He asked if he could pet Derby and I said yes. Well, Derby walked up to him and then sat down with his side pushed against the wheelchair. The old woman reached her hand over and started to pet him. Derby then turned around and gave her a lick on her cheek. She said puppy in an almost whisper and the guy burst out into tears. He said it was the first word she had spoken since January. Tears....... The power of animals to touch people never ceases to amaze me.
