Opal long ago decided that she was going to be Roman's friend...whether or not he knew what to make of her. She pushed into his cone of solitude so casually and so unrelentingly that Roman has come to accept, and I believe enjoy, her interactions. 

He regularly lets her sniff him and kiss his face with gentle nudges and licks. Roman has come to understand when she prances up to him and swishes about that she is inviting him to play. She has slowly extended the chase game beyond the living room.

Both were out in the yard with me and caught their antics from Roman's point of view. The  photo is Roman's response to Opal's dance as she moved closer and bowed. He continued his encouragement for her to pursue him around the yard. 

It was thrilling to see the joy of each in their game and Roman's willing happy participation. Later, when Opal came inside to check on me, I took a moment to stroke her ears. Sweet Opal, you are such a patient loving friend; Roman has come so far with your help."

That is so cool! I love watching dogs help other dogs. So beautiful. I'm so glad Roman has a friend. ♥

Your family is so full of love. Opal has spent years (I've watched!) and now the benefits to Roman are becoming more and more obvious. Who would have thought this little breeder rescue had such magic. You and Sue, I think! Love to all, Becky W
