Dogs engage in epic battle with their own shadows

Once you have acknowledged that you have a shadow try and make friends with it. This is a slow process so don't be in a rush. Just like the pauper cat, it takes time to get comfortable with the unfamiliar and it can be easily spooked.

I wish this story had a happy ending. Dog goes missing, community searches for dog, dog is reunited with his family. They live happily ever after. Unfortunately, that is not this story.
