She may cry and push me to feed her on time, or walk her as soon as she opens her eyes, but her expectations are just and fair. ![]() She’s confident that I will embrace her back. She doesn’t worry about my personal space. Currently, as I write this, she presses her warm body against my leg. She doesn’t shy away from showing affection, even if I’m busy and pay her little attention. She loves openly, wholeheartedly, and without fear of rejection. She’s constant, she’s consistent, she’s reliable. She’s shown me the depths of this love in a way no human ever has.

But the love of Dakota has completely transcended any human connection I have had.īefore her, I didn’t really know what it felt like-this thing called unconditional love. ![]() I’ve been in love, and I have and do love deeply.
