The Best Picture I've Taken This Year

Barking in Heaven

The guy who ran the SPCA's Animal Assistant Therapy program died this week. It's pretty sad - Chris Bergman was a colorful character, always signing his emails to me "Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum" and other guy-friendly amusing ways, and he had a deep philosophical belief in the healing power of animals. Based on my visit with Otis in the program, he's one hundred percent right - nothing makes a bad day good like a visit from a friendly dog.

Ironicall,y I found out about his death this morning, while on an AAT visit.
