Hope, from puppy to today

hen I went to pick her up in Santiago, I didn't know how much my life would change.

I was filled with nightmares, I couldn't sleep. From the first night, she would lay her tiny body on top of me and calm me from my nightmares.

I went alone to pick her up, and the entire two-hour return trip, she wanted to spend time in my lap... until she convinced me and slept the rest of the way.

More than seven years have passed, and I'm grateful every day for having her by my side.

I named her Hope... she was my hope for better. Without realizing it, she became my best friend.
