Just as I was about to get out of the bed to go back for Fortune, something wet, slippery touched my feet. Startled, I looked down only to find the dog licking the sole of my feet. My agitated heart settled a bit at finding someone familiar by my side who would not judge me.

I did not know how Karan brought Fortune along. Anyhow, it helped me greatly.

"Fortune." I heaved a sigh of relief at finding Fortune perched up at the foot of the bed. My tears finally fell relentlessly. Fortune stood up, moved closer to me, and rubbed his head against my shoulder softly. I could not help but sob out loud at his pure love. It was as if he could sense my distress and was trying to comfort me. I realized animals have more humanity and empathy than humans.
