The Keepers
There's a kind of knowing that never makes it into a database.
Sniff can tell you what's true about a breed from the outside. The genetics, the health, the lineage, all cited. But it can't tell you what it's actually like to live a whole life with one. That knowing exists only in the people who did it.
This is where we keep it. Answer whichever of these move you, in any order, as much or as little as you want. The questions do the work. You just have to get back in the room with your dog.
