Norman is very special. He’s a shining example of divine love in action. Norman, a curly haired cockapoo with weak knees, sports a different brightly colored scarf around his neck each day. He is a caregiver at a south Minneapolis nursing home. An odd occupation for a 65 dog? Not really, if you think about it. He’s good at what he does. Residents look forward to his arrival every day. He arrives in the morning with the activities director. He moves from lap to lap, day after day, giving selfless love and bringing joy to his patients. Divine Love Needs No Words to Communicate One patient in particular, who suffered a stroke, is especially appreciative of Norman’s attention. She always welcomes him with a big smile and outstretched arms. They often set off for an adventurous ride in her wheelchair. The stroke took away her ability to speak, so she can’t communicate with him verbally, but she scratches him on the head. Neither needs words to express the love they share. Why does Norman take his job so se- riously?
