I love flying. It is magical being several thousand feet up in the air. Flying through the clouds brings me a sense of amazement that is hard to describe. I get a similar feeling when sailing on a large lake or being on the ocean.
There was a young girl who was in a wheel chair on the flight. She was with an adult woman who seemed to be her mother. The interesting thing is that she had trained companion dog with her. It was a beautiful black lab. This dog was amazing to me. It was so calm throughout the entire flight. It was obviously devoted to the young girl and she was devoted to her dog. This dog acted better on this flight than some children I’ve seen on flights. Better yet, he/she acted better than some adults I’ve seen on flights.
Those companion animals have always amazed me. I suppose it also has to do with my own connection to pets… there have been times in my life where the bond with my animals has been a life-line. Actually, this semester one of my research papers was based on just that – the amazing connection people can have with companion animals.
And I certainly agree about how there are times when the 4 legged creatures are better behaved than their 2 legged counterparts!
