As he looks straight into my eyes with his deep dark brown eyes, and seems to understand not only what I am saying, but also what I am feeling at this exact moment in time. Jake will respond by his own sense of what is going on and what he feels.
Somehow, he takes me inside of my own feelings as he responds to my words and seems to know exactly what I need. So easy going and lovable most of the time, and still very protective at the same. To leap after a ball or leap to protect, Jake has his own way of telling you, time to play, or someones nearby.
As days go by he seems to become smarter an wiser than myself as he can sense fear, love, anger, danger, play, work. By my side, day or night. When I'm ill, he lies by my side as if trying to heal me, by taking it away though his constant vigil.
A mystery in itself as how can he know? Yet he does.
I have certainly been blessed by my friend Jake.
