White Dog ran through the packout list with me. "You know I really miss attending the Paws To People events with you and dad," she said sadly. I looked up and met her eyes. "And I miss having you at my side. It is just that with YoYoMa's immune system so disrupted I fear any of you having contact with strange dogs because you might bring home some bacteria or virus without even knowing it. Yo is so susceptible." "I understand, momma. But I look forward to when his numbers are strong again and we can get more social."

I smiled and stroked her side. "Thanks, Little White Dog of My Heart, for putting your brother's health ahead of your wanting to go. That is what makes you such an awesome leader of the White Dog Army...you put the well being of your brothers and sisters ahead of everything else."

She pressed against me and nuzzled her face into my hand. "We look after each other. It would be wrong to do less."

"Oh Sweet White Dog, if only humans understood as well as the White Dog Army does."
