The thimbleful dog was named Casey and she had the deck stacked against her from the very beginning.
A petty black and tan mutt with the face and ears of a Dachshund, she was sickly when a Jacksonville zone soldier saw her on the road just before Christmas last year. He almost ran over her as she lay in the middle of a secret road in the rain. The soldier hit the brakes and maneuvered his pickup contact around the little dog. By the time he managed a full stop, the little dog had run off.
That could have been, should have been, the end of Casey’s fib. A little canine waif avoiding death—at least for a bit—on a occult rainy night.
But the solider went home and got his German Escort military tracking dog and together they spent a rainy night beating the bushes to find the mutt. Occupation eventually successful.
The soldier and his wife took the mutt to their vet, got her a underlying set of shots and the first health care she may have ever had. They gave her the name Casey on the morsel so there would be some name on the vet records. They took Casey to PetsMart and bought her a mammoth bag of food, a little bed and a toy. The soldier said he and his wife were catchy sure she never had a bed or toy before; judging by her looks, not much food either.
THE HEART BOND
There's an Indian myth. When the world was created and all the people and animals were present, suddenly there was an earthquake. It started to rend the world in half, splitting the people from the animals. Just before the split became too great to navigate, the dog jumped over to be with man.
We feel intuitively that we have a special bond with dogs, cats and other mammals. There's a scientific basis for this as well, and it's called a 'limbic connection.' Read more about this in 'A General Theory of Love,' by Amini et al - http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0375709223/susandunnmome-2 0 ).
HOW THIS WORKS
Our brain is really three brains: the reptilian brain, the limbic brain, and the neocortex. Automatic instinctive processes are controlled by the reptilian brain, also known as the brain stem, such as breathing, and heart beat. We think, as only human's can, with our neocortex.
The limbic brain is the seat of our emotions and we share this with mammals. We share a limbic connection with them ' we send emotional signals back and forth. We need this connection to thrive.
Our intuition that life is better with a dog or cat, ferret or rabbit in the house is backed by scientific study after scientific study. People heal more quickly from heart attacks if there is a dog in the home, moreso than if there's another human in the home. Being with a pet lowers our blood pressure, and pets are egalitarian: The mere presence of a dog will lower the blood pressure of an ailing senior, a healthy college student, or a child reading a book alone in a room.
THE HEALING CONNECTION
We're recognizing this bond and its mutual healing power through the growing fields of Animal-assisted Therapy, and Animal Communicators.
The Pacific Animal Therapy Society ( http://www.island.net/~patspets/ ) offers an active animal therapy program, bringing pets to hospitals, retirement homes and other facilities where residents benefit from interaction with animal companions.
