The Devotion of a Dog.
Yesterday Vinnie endured a particularly trying day.
Ethan alternately beat Vinnie with a butter knife; attempted to jump on him, smacked the dog in the face, teased him with a snack, tried to roll him over while he was napping, dumped his food all over the floor, and chased him back and forth through the house trying to yank his tail.
If a person were treated in this manner, he or she would likely retaliate, and rightfully so.
Not so with Vinnie.
Last night I captured this scene. As they say, it's worth a thousand words -- the white object is Ethan's t-shirt:
Vinnie is one faithful dog. I'm amazed at the way he can forgive all the toddler cruelty and only remember the good things, like when Ethan feeds him leftovers or pets him without hitting or comes to tell me Vinnie wants in (or out).
Every kid should have a good dog.
