We found Sombra in April 2004. It was raining. Gabriella and I had just dropped off books at the public library. Some boys on bikes came up to us and said, “Is this your dog?” No. “Can you help us? He’s lost and there’s a lot of traffic.” Yes. Twelve years later, his vision and hearing is mostly gone but his nose still leads the way. And of course, his love.

He leads; I follow.
Stop Sniff Sniff and Stop Sniff Sniff
