But Fluffy Needs Me
As society reopens, what will become of our four-legged friends? They spent all those months indoors as our officemates, distractions, and Zoom call buddies. Did anyone order some attachment issues?! Animal experts advise that dogs need time to adjust to their new, new normals... just like us! Give them time, space, and patience.
Written and reported by Brenna Biggs.
