Twelve dogs, an army of cats, and more horses that I could count awaited me, running around my feet, jumping up and licking my face.

I scooped my puppy into my arms and buried my face in her fur. She was really in my arms again, and O didn’t want to let go.

Then, the path of animals parted and a massive black horse approached, nuzzling my face with his big nose. “I’m sorry if I hurt you, back then.”

I remember falling of his back and leaned into his nose. “Never, Cloud. You were my sweet boy. You never hurt me.”
