Duke isn’t just my dog — he’s my shadow, my companion, my little burst of joy. When I adopted him, I thought I was saving him, but really, he saved me in more ways than I can count.
Small Dog, Big Personality
Duke may be tiny, but he rules the house with confidence and charm. He has a routine (that he created, not me):
• morning cuddles
• mid-day attitude
• evening zoomies
He makes me laugh even on days when Boston’s gray skies feel heavier than usual.
What He Teaches Me
Duke reminds me to slow down. To be playful. To go outside even when I don’t feel like it. To find joy in the simplest things — like a new toy, a sunny patch on the floor, or a stranger who becomes a friend.
A Love That Colors My Life
He’s part of my story — a constant reminder that life is softer, brighter, and infinitely sweeter when you let yourself love without fear.
