Shepherds are a dog apart from other breeds. They exist to remind us that we are sentient beings with a soul because their eyes reveal theirs so clearly. <\/p>\n<p>These German Shepherds bond so tightly with their human comrades that they don&#8217;t recognize they are a different species &#8211; we are one in their mind. <\/p>\n<p>Heidi has a huge heart too, which makes me think she is my mother reincarnated. Her gold flaxen hair and her well-lined dark rimmed eyes, her beauty, her loving and laid back style all remind me of my mom. <\/p>\n<p>German Shepherds bond with the whole family, but they have a distinctive relationship with one member in particular. And for Heidi the special person is Tin. Heidi adopted Tin as her ward from the very first moment the two met. And Tin adopted Heidi back. There is nothing more beautiful than a boy with his dog. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.dangermond.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_4716.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"18832\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.dangermond.org\/?attachment_id=18832\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.dangermond.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_4716.jpg?fit=2448%2C3264\" data-orig-size=\"2448,3264\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.4&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 4S&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1382081022&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.28&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;640&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0666666666667&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_4716\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.dangermond.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_4716.jpg?fit=640%2C853\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.dangermond.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_4716.jpg?resize=640%2C853\" alt=\"IMG_4716\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18832\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.dangermond.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_4716.jpg?w=2448 2448w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.dangermond.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_4716.jpg?resize=225%2C300 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.dangermond.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_4716.jpg?resize=768%2C1024 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.dangermond.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_4716.jpg?w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.dangermond.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_4716.jpg?w=1920 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heidi went to live with Tatjana when we moved away from the LaLa but she never really left my heart.
