Palm watched from afar, worried that Cora might be bothering the weary traveler — but when she asked him about it, he made it very clear that Cora wasn’t bothering him in the least.
“I asked him if she was bothering him and with a somber face and watery eyes he said, ‘No, no; I lost my dog last night.’ He scratched behind her ears, patted her on the back and was whispering how cute she was. He took out his phone to snap a photo and she sat directly in front of him facing him and staying perfectly still for it.”
Somehow, Cora seemed to know that the man in the airport that day needed her love most of all. Despite being unloved most of her life, Cora has a gift for love and compassion, and was able to bring the man a little comfort after losing his own furry friend.
“She knows who is hurting and she knows who needs her. I’ve never questioned that,” Palm said. “I am blown away by her on a daily basis. Who knew a dog who was unloved for seven and a half years could have so much love to give?”
