Meet Raynar, a two-year-old Alaskan Malamute. This gentle giant possesses wisdom beyond his years.

While stoically enduring life on a trolley tether with little room to move about, Raynar’s only concern was the emotional wellbeing of his human Mom, who was going through an extremely difficult situation.

Raynar’s calm, generous spirit brought human Mom joy and comfort, and he showed her to live not for the day, or even the hour, but to savor each precious moment.

UPDATE ON RAYNAR: Chain Free Dogs built him a well-deserved fence. He’s no longer tied! He’s running free and playing like crazy!

Raynar’s human Mom is grateful to Chain Free Dogs for this blessing, and she’ll forever be thankful to precious Raynar for helping her through the darkest of times.
