Rusty unleashed Tyler for the first time. |
 |
The park was empty. The sun
was setting on another glorious spring day in California's
Central Valley.
Rusty enjoyed taking photos
of Tyler without a leash restraining his movements.
|
 |
Rusty hoped that the bond with his dog was strong enough
that they could also go off leash out in the vast
orchards they often explored together. That would be a
perfect place for Tyler to run free because there were no
cars, children, or other dogs.
Yeah, that was something to look forward to.
|
 |
Tyler liked the freedom of being "off leash". This
was not just a baby step. It marked the maturity in the
relationship of dog and handler.
As Reggie said - they were a "bonded pair." Rusty & Tyler.
Tyler & Rusty. Bonded together. |
 |
They played tug of war.
That was always a good game! |
 |
Rusty felt happy to see his young dog free from the tangling
hassle of a leash. |
 |
Tyler played with his eBay raccoon pelt ($4.95).
He rolled in the grass as Rusty took more photos. |
 |
Rusty realized that the leash
between himself and his dog was now one comprised of love,
respect, and trust. |
 |
Tyler
had earned Rusty's respect.
Rusty worked hard every day to be worthy of the bond between
them. The bond between man & dog was so real that Rusty
received images in his head from Tyler.
