Cesar MillanWhy did dogs make one want to cry? There was something so quiet and hopeless about their sympathy. Jasper, knowing something was wrong, as dogs always do. Trunks being packed.

Iโm not saying this is how people should date!

This much, at least, I've figured out. I know this much is true.
