Percy Does Yoga... Not!
Percy is an 80 pound pit bull who knows NOTHING about personal space. His goal on any given day is to lay on you, beside you and to be as close to you as possible, regardless of how uncomfortable you may be! This is a true story of Percy coming to understand "me vs we" time and how we can learn to give each other space and grace at the same time.
