Prior to the arrest, we had rescued a German
Shepherd dog. I started to walk her around the
neighborhood; she led me to a vacant lot where I
found an abandoned puppy sitting beside her dead
sister. I picked up the puppy… She shook violently,
then fell asleep in my arms. I learned later that it’s
the way animals tend to get rid of stress… they
literally shake it off (Waking the Tiger, Healing
Trauma by Peter Levine).
