Every day, Mr. Watson makes his way up to the nurses’ station, sits down on the sofa, the nurses’ bring him his cup of coffee . He talks and laughs, listens, speaks to the passer by. Notice that I said that He “makes his way up to the nurses’ station”? Mr Watson has a sight problem, as in, he has no sight. But He can laugh, He can coax Cody up on the couch beside him, he can bury his hands in that fur ,talk softly and smile. The Dobermans that visit now will get in his bed, but Cody was trained not to do so and will have nothing to do with it.
