Oh man.. made me cry. I'm sorry about Sunshine. My wife and I rescued a puppy when we lived in San Diego and she helped us understand family in our early marriage. I remember taking her to Fiesta Island every weekend.

This is the most beautiful personal recollection of a dog's passing I've ever read. Your riff on family sounded like you were reading my mail--how a dog can create a true sense of family triumphing over previous negative associations.

Wow. I’m sorry for your loss, Autumn. This was an amazing story, and it sounds like you both helped to save each other
