Tranquility Amidst Turmoil
The service dog, bless its heart, lay quietly at its owner’s feet, completely unfazed by the swirling chaos around it. The irony of its calm demeanor wasn’t lost on anyone, especially as the rest of us simmered with agitation. There was something almost poetic about the way it remained so serene in a cabin full of tense, restless humans. In its quiet stillness, the dog seemed to be silently reminding us all: Chill, humans. This too shall pass.
