White Dog had her first up-close encounter with a human infant this evening at the park. As Steve relates the meeting:

"First, White Dog hunkered down to reduce her size to the absolute minimum. She even rested her chin on the grass. The baby slowly reached over and stroked White Dog's head. An area of quiet enveloped the two of them. Baby and puppy were spellbound by each other for a brief time.

"Then the baby's toddler sister ambled over and wanted to pet White Dog. The spell was broken. White Dog raced across the grass and the baby cried."
