Our cabin was an inner ship cabin without windows. The room was a comfortable size for all of us: Nancy my wife, Telly my dog guide and me. We had a nice sleep, wakening on this second day of our journey with 3,700 others.

First thing, Telly went from one side of the bed to the other; he wanted to eat. He followed me around the cabin as I got his food ready for him. The room was carpeted, so his bowl wouldn’t slide around as he buried his nose in the bowl to get the last tiny morsel of food. He licked it clean.
