I'm convinced Cory is a straight-up dog-whisperer-- able to pickup the energy of any dog he's around, calm them, and they fall in LOVE him. My dog George and my roomate's dog, Lucy are very different. Lucy is a bubbly, huge puppy; George is a scared, small rescue. George is very shy and doesn't like most men (he was a rescue from an abuse situation), but he instantly took to Cory. The first time he came over, George was sitting in his lap! I couldn't believe it! Cory is also the only person I have complete peace of mind when he watches George-- I know he is happy and well taken care of. He's magical. (Plus, Cory sends lots of cute pictures and videos, which makes me feel like I'm there. :D) Lucy is so obsessed with Cory, she doesn't want anyone else! She waits for him at the door to see if he's coming over. The last time he dogsat her, she was brokenhearted that he had to leave! Seriously, this guy is the best. Also, on a personal note, Cory is super funny, cool, and chill to be around. 5 stars.
