In March 2018, amidst a lingering winter, I traveled to the Pacific Northwest in search of a Rough Collie named Rumble. Despite his training, I felt a disconnection. When I met Sunny, a vulnerable second puppy, his eagerness for love resonated with me. I took him home, describing how Sunny, with his bright disposition, helped me navigate my new life in Seattle, especially as I dealt with the challenges of overcoming past burnout and loneliness in a new environment. Sunny became my companion in this new adventure in a city I had yet to learn to appreciate.
"I had just moved to gray, misty Seattle via a roundabout path. Months prior, burned out at my magazine job in New York City, I quit and then spent months traveling to places like Russia and Egypt."
"When I arrived at the small farm, Rumble looked at me...a lamp. His gaze was politely bored and I knew something was missing between Rumble and me."
