with like subtle shifts in emotions.
If I'm sad, she'll follow me around,
and like make sure I'm okay.
They're happy, and have these like inner lives,
and you get to kind of experience that.
Just like a best friend.
There's a reason they says it's man's best friend.
'Cause they are.

- Reiki is an Eastern-based philosophy in meditation.
And what it does is it promotes
deep relaxation in the body,
as well as, boost the immune system.
With the dogs we're working on specific energy centers
that are gonna help balance and rejuvenate the animal.
- I would describe Hadley's personality
as a very independent, very sassy.

And he loves being around people.

- I love her, and I want her to be happy,
and to feel nice, and in any way
that I can do that for her, I would want to do that.
- Oh, my goodness.
You're so handsome.
- Hi, Hadley, you look so cute.
Oh, you're fluffy.
- Did you have a fun day at the spa?
Yeah, yeah (chuckles)?
I think dogs kind of bring out
a different side of people.
- It's so cheesy, but like dogs kind of bring it back
to like what's important in life.
Friendship and companionship
and being there for each other.
I love dogs so much.
