Why, it’s enough to melt the heart of even the most curmudgeonly old git. Which is how I describe myself these days.

I’m not a big fan of dogs, preferring cats instead. Mainly because dogs can turn on you and are very capable of ripping your face off. Something which I’m aiming to avoid in my life.

However, this dog is a real sweetheart, standing by the cot as the youngest member of the household tries to sleep. When it starts crying instead the canine, which I think is a husky, sings the baby back to sleep.

This is real pack behavior, and the dog clearly knows his place in that pack. If all dogs were as nice and well-behaved as this one then maybe I’d be more of a fan.
