The vet said: “This dog is probably going to die,” but I was not going to give up on him. Ralph really loved people, but he was very suspicious of dogs. It was filled with thousands of tennis balls, because he didn’t really like toys, but he loved tennis balls and he would hoard them. I think Ralph made me understand the truth of unconditional love. I think people think that is sort of sad, but it’s not – it’s wonderful to experience that depth of emotion for another being.
