Cover dog, Caitee, is a first responder with a local Colorado police department and she's got a pretty important job. She provides emotional support to victims of violent crimes, including children who must testify in court. As the article explains, dogs like Caitee can work magic on the psyche of a physically or emotionally wounded person.

Beautiful writing. Though you had that close bond, at least you know she's happy doing what you trained her for. Such a valuable companion for someone.
