Teddy, a four-month-old Yorkipoo, has transformed the owner's daily walks into moments of joy and connection with others. Living in Montreal, the owner shares how Teddy makes people smile and feel special, even offering comfort to those grieving their pets. After the loss of his previous dog, Chloe, the owner hesitated to adopt again but found Teddy during a moment of spontaneity. Managing a puppy is challenging, sleep-deprived nights included, yet the connection and joy Teddy brings to both his owner and the community are undeniable.
After Chloe died, everyone asked me, 'Are you getting another dog?' and I would say, 'I won't even think about it till spring.' Really, I wasn't planning to.
Some people stop to talk. 'That's a puppy, isn't it?' 'How old is he?' 'What kind of a dog is it?' Yesterday a guy took out his phone to show me a picture of his dog that died last year.
Teddy makes everyone feel seen and loved. He makes people feel special. Dog people like me have a deep primitive connection with our pets.
It's a lot of work taking care of a puppy. I haven't slept through the night since March 30 when I got him.
