The Brut Depth

It almost scares me how deep a human-canine love can go.  I've known many dogs in my life and felt a great amount of love from them that I didn't know was possible, but from the first time I laid eyes on Brut, I knew he was different.

 

I just didn't know how different.

When I am scared, I can crawl inside him and feel safe and protected.  

When life is uncertain and shaky, he's the rock I hold on to. 

When all seems lost I look long into his eyes and I find myself again.

I can't tell you how many times Brut and I are breathing at the same pace.  

Or how we think of each other at the same time or have turned in unison with that knowing glance.  

The secrets in our souls that would die for the other.  

I never stop being fascinated with Brut when our spirits are entwined.  

It is like having a canine twin.  

There is something about a heart dog that is like no other.  

It's like holding each other hearts

In our hands

And never letting go.
