Agreeing to the Tests
The doctor, intrigued by Karen’s detailed explanation, agreed that it would be wise to run some additional tests. “It’s always better to be safe,” the doctor said, arranging a series of assessments to ensure that everything was as it should be. Relief mingled with nervous anticipation as Karen nodded, feeling a strange sense of validation that Rufus’s unusual behavior might actually be signaling something important. For the first time, she felt a hopeful sense of clarity—maybe the dog’s loyalty was more than companionship; perhaps it was a guide leading her toward answers she hadn’t considered before.

Rufus Stays Close
Throughout the entire testing process, Rufus never left Karen’s side. He stayed close, lying beside her during waiting periods, nudging her gently when she shifted in her seat, and offering the quiet, unwavering presence that had become her anchor. His loyalty provided comfort in moments of anxiety, a reminder that she wasn’t alone. Each time she glanced down at him, Karen felt a renewed sense of connection, understanding more deeply that Rufus’s attentiveness wasn’t just affection—it was guidance, a subtle way of supporting her on this unexpected and personal journey.
