What/who helps them keep a cool head?:
Every dog has their day, Degaldo remembers his father telling him as a puppy. And some days are just much harder than they should be.
As a dog, Delgado knows what's expected of him. He's big, burly. Most people look at him and they get scared and he'd be lying if he said he didn't want them to be. He's a good boy, knows it deep down but on those days when his patience is stretched thinner than it should be, it can get hard.
Cue Jenna. Jenna is his new owner and well she's never owned a dog. Jenna is in highschool and they live in the Nine Lives Hotel. Living with Jenna and her family is a strange experience for the dog. He's used to guarding, being firm and fierce over things but with this family he learns he doesn't have to guard his whole life away.
When Jenna sees him struggling, and somehow she almost always knows, she takes him to the park and will surprisingly play fight with him.
The effect? Instantaneous joy. Delgado, who never got to be a puppy, not got to grow up a normal dog for a few minutes forgets about it all in favor of rolling around in the grass and chasing his owner through the field. It's freeing and it takes his mind off of his anger, happy to be expelled in a game. Sometimes she brings his favorite toy, a squeaky football and she'll toss it to him.
And it's then he guesses that it's not so bad. It's easy to be impatient and lose your temper, but the big surly boy feels like a new dog every time they go to the park. And then she'll take him home, both of them dirty and bruised up and practically exhausted when she tells him.
"You're doing so good. Don't you feel better?" And everytime without fail he gives her a big doggy smile and barks.
Ended up calling in help with this one. Everything was real close but in the end we went for this form. Congrat!
