Take Me Away
The game had changed as the dog had dashed off into a place where, despite feeling safe, was clearly completely blocked off. Loreta fastened a net on her end, while Eldad waited expectantly on the other. The dog was now starting to despair, realizing that it had nowhere else to flee. The miserable look on its face was enough to break your heart. Eldad and Loreta could not squeeze into the narrow gap, and all that they could do now was wait things out.

Loreta and Eldad only had one option left, and that was to calmly and lovingly talk the dog out of its new shelter. Eldad recorded the entire situation as he and Loreta continued to call out to the dog in a reassuring and inviting tone. While dogs might not be able to fully understand what we say to them, they can register tone and emotion. Hopefully, this dog’s paranoia would be soothed by their sweet voices.
