You find the broken places without being told. The world is a little less heavy when you're in the room.
Three quiet signals. None of them about breed. All of them about the way they hold a room.
The crying that was about to happen. The headache you had not yet named. They find it and lean into it without being asked.
They do not make the room quieter by not barking. They make it quieter by being in it.
Given the choice of any bed in the house, they will pick the one with the person who needs them most. Always.
