“If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.”
What a beautiful and unexpected encounter after a recent breakfast in Hualien, Taiwan with two new canine friends.
It was very interesting to watch how the older dog Fafa/Papa* communicated with Joker/Chocolate and with me.
Collage 1: The older dog (brindle) approves of me after brief inspection. I had seen them briefly the day before; he enjoys a few relaxing strokes of facial reflexology; his eyes are closed.
Collage 2: Communicating playfully and coaxing the younger one who had just gotten up with what I imagine to have been "this is fun, try it; come on, it’s relaxing; I’ll do stretches with you first.” They did stretches together and were affectionate and gentle, and playful.
Collage 3: The younger one listened :) and gets moral support during "his session.” Fafa/Papa is watching us, his face close to where the action is.
Collage 4: Mutual gratitude 🙏🏻; good bye between me and senior (come again maybe?); the younger one just walked off; he did his job. He pleased Fafa/Papa. Easy breezy for me, but so incredibly heart warming and eye opening.
