She said: "The dog waited on the lawn near the cross walk, it's ears alert, waiting for the boy to come home from school. This was his job. It was a job that he took very seriously because the boy was his love. He loved the boy and the boy loved him. It was a universe that was in balance with itself. When the school bus came, the dog could hardly contain his emotions. He waited until the boy could be seen coming down the steps of the school bus. When he was on the ground the dog would run to him, running around him, inspecting him to see all that there was to see of the boy who was his charge. This, then, was a state of grace. This was a world in balance. This is how it was meant to be."
