Dear Fonseca,
I have a pet husky who I dearly love. The other night, I introduced him to my new boyfriend for the first time. My husky stared at my new boyfriend as if he had done something wrong. It was like he was looking into his soul. When my new boyfriend tried to pet my husky, he backed away and gave him the side eye. I told my friend what my husky did. She senses my husky knows something about my boyfriend that I don't. Another friend laughed when I told her about my husky and said the guilty look and side eye is all in my head. Now, I'm starting to question whether or not I should date this guy. Do you think my husky is on to something? Do animals know when something's not right? Are animals a good judge of character? Is this all true or is my head playing games with me?
