This is a photo of my first dog, Pupuce, taken in the backyard of my childhood home in rural France. My parents gave in to my brothers’ and my relentless pleas for a dog, with the hope that she would help tame the wild pack of boys they were attempting to raise. And it worked. That little dachshund immediately became one of the family and the bond we shared was unbreakable.
