Yeah, it was quite an emotional evening. The final gift he gave me was that gift of sadness.

Our faithful friend is now three months old and her guide dog training is starting in earnest.

A lick of the face or a kiss on the lips definitely feels like true affection.

And this is proof that your dog is treating you like her mother, as this behaviour originally comes from a puppy licking her mum's lips to get her to regurgitate her dinner.
這種行為證明你的狗把你當做她媽媽，因為其根源來自于小狗舔狗媽媽嘴巴，吃媽媽嘴邊反芻的天性。
Nice.
干得漂亮。
