Lola is my best friend. She’s playful and mischievous and a lot of fun. But she wasn’t always this way. When we first became friends, she always seemed sad.She wouldn’t want to leave the house and when she did, she’d jump at every noise and curl up into a ball. But with a little love and persistence, I helped her to stop being afraid and to start seeing life in a new way.
