Her best friend is the neighbors' Saint Bernard

Sally's husband died decades ago, and her children live all over the country. Then her neighbors brought home a Saint Bernard puppy, and he kept turning up in her yard. more

His name is Brody. Soon he was coming every day, and Sally was more than happy to look after him. Before long the two of them were hard to pry apart.

Whenever Brody wandered off, his family never had to search very hard. They knew where he would be.

He grew into a very big dog, the way Saint Bernard puppies do, and the two only got closer. There's just a lot more of him to hug now, and he leans right into it.

Brody leans into Sally for a hug on the couch.

Sally keeps him well supplied with snacks and treats. She even admits it to him, telling Brody she has spoiled him ever since he was a little pup.

He pays her back by getting her out of the house. They go on walks together, and she's healthier for it. Her face shows it too, relaxed and quick to smile.

Brody's family could have kept him at home. They let him go to Sally instead, and she's not alone anymore.
