I'm also sitting here with tears streaming down my face, and I wasn't even here to follow his story from the beginning!

It just shows what love and patience can do.
Absolutely!

I also believe that animals are far more intelligent than humans in general give them credit for. I'm positive that Magoo is beginning to let his guard down because he knows that he's now in a place where nobody is going to hurt him, and where he's going to be treated well and loved. He likes this new place and wants to stay!

Congratulations to you! You're obviously doing an incredible job with Magoo; the way he is responding is testament to that! This is truly a beautiful story!
