Among my other talents of being a Federal Agent, I also teach the art and science of dog sledding in Alaska. It is a team effort between the driver and the dogs. They must learn from each other and perform in perfect harmony. This story exemplifies their actions as well as the magic between the dogs and a female Veterinarian who 'talks' to them. One must always listen to their dogs, too. They know. They always know. You just have to ask them the right way.
That Vet had been with the dog several minutes and her magic had worked again. That dog took two steps backwards, stared at the Vet a moment or two, then his head went down. It looked like he was saying a prayer, or possibly praising the Princess! He laid his back and butt down next and closed his eyes.
