Our rescue hound Quinn. She's extroverted and loves people and attention; she's more or less the mayor of our neighborhood. She has great comic timing but also a strong sense of responsibility. She can smell my emotions and acts as a default therapy dog—throwing herself on me whenever I smell upset.
