You sound like a true joy and a wonderful companion. Your human wrote:

"You know, there is something about dog's eyes that convey its intelligence and there is that moment when they understand and the connection of communication is made, that will always be an incredible thing to me."

I've never heard it expressed quite like that, and that testimony just goes to show how deep your bond is. Your human is very lucky, Teal, and so are we, because you are our Dog of the Day!
