Who is Davis?

Davis is a one-eyed rescue from Georgia who waited eight months in rescue until he found his family, Liz and Creighton, in Hope, Maine. He does a happy dance when he knows a walk or a treat is coming. He greets other animals with a happy wag and a bow. At a party he makes his presence known in the middle of everyone, because he knows he's a celebrity. Once, on a road trip, he walked into a stranger's wedding party, got invited in, and went from guest to guest collecting love. He has been through a lot, but he has never given up hope of better times. He meets difficulties with calm and curiosity, trusting his inner voice and his people. That makes him a gentle role model for meeting challenges with joy and patience.
