02/26/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Vince is a fine example of the gentle love so typical of the square head kind. He walks perfectly on your side. He leans his body to your legs to get connected with you. He stays with you under a doorway to wait for the rain to pass, not bothered by either the thunder or the lightning because his eyes and heart are on you. He asks you to pay attention to him because he wants you to know that he would really really like the friendship of a human.
