The smell of confidence

I used to be scared of dogs. Walking door-to-door for ingathering of funds for ADRA used to be a nightmare, always afraid that there would be a dog attacking from behind a bush or as the door was opened.

Getting Mac changed all of that; that tiny little thing has helped me overcome my fear of dogs! And the dogs smell it! When I last visited Peru, I could walk freely among the "wild dogs" in the slums outside of Lima, and I knew that the dogs I met would do me nothing.

A friend of mine is not that fortunate: She is terrified whenever she meets a dog, and she is the one being attacked.

So today's blog is a "thank you" to our tea-cup (a very big tea-cup) dog Mac! Thanks for giving me confidence to meet the world!
