Sweetie was a good dog, but now he's the best dog! Sweetie was a comfort dog without a lot of formal training. He helped ease the suffering of dying people in the hospital, and there he learned how friendship could save lives, and how intolerable suffering can be. He wanted to scare away all the people who made other people hurt, but the Code of the Good Dog prevented him from ever taking action. He dreamed of one day being able to chase pain down like a squirrel, only unlike a squirrel, following his instincts to kill it wouldn't make him a bad dog. It would make him a good dog!
