My teacher noticed I was sad about my dog and did this… I’m obsessed

I’m 10, and last week I was really upset because my dog got sick (he’s better now!). I didn’t want to talk to anyone at school, so I just sat alone at lunch. My teacher, Mr. Lee, sat down next to me and said, “Want to tell me about it? Or we can just sit here.” I told him about my dog, and he listened without interrupting. The next day, he brought in a book about dogs and a drawing he made of my dog (I showed him a picture once!). He said, “I hope this makes you feel better – your dog is lucky to have you.” Now we check in every morning, and I don’t feel scared to talk anymore. Teachers who pay attention to the quiet kids? Absolute heroes.
