4. Yes she did and she was.

I see the same love in my daughter's dog for my daughter. She has a little Papillon and, fortunately, she doesn't need to intervene in the way Hildy did for me but it's abundantly clear Seras loves her mama and seeing that brings up the joyful memories of Hildy. I'm 51 and still get a little misty eyed thinking of her. My champion, my Hildeguardian.
