It was very sweet and thoughtful (and a tiny bit sad) for Dexter to bring his master's cushion near you. No doubt he is missing his human very much. It must be stressful and confusing when a dog's human disappears for awhile. Hopefully all goes well with the kidney transplant and his human will return home in a month. Now that will be one happy reunion, won't it? Good Luck with Dexter; it sure sounds as if you are doing a good job with him.
