Once bonded, forever loyal

My Shiba took six months to fully trust me and accept me as her person. The process was gradual and required patience and respect for her boundaries. But once that bond formed it was deep and solid. She is devoted to me in a way that is different from other breeds but no less real. She sleeps at my feet, follows at a measured distance, and greets my return with a joy that she usually keeps more composed. Worth every patient month.
