It's Our Turn: If you pet them once, they'll love you forever
How do you resist that face? As you squat outside the pen, scratching the furry back cemented against the chain-linked gate, you know you’ve got to go. But as you stand, he stands with you, mushes his nose against the gate as his backside sways with the momentum of his tail. The dog rumbles a whine at you and stares with watery brown eyes, begging for just one more rub.

Adjusting her practice
Kathy Seifert’s affinity with animals is mystifying. “You have to see it to believe it, and even when you see it you still don’t believe it,” said the Evansville veterinarian. “Quite frankly, I don’t understand it.” Some may refer to her as an animal whisperer. Some think she has a gift. But to Seifert, it’s a skill everyone has, it’s just a matter of being open to it and letting it through.
