Dog whisperer<br />
feels the love<br />

There were cheers and tears aplenty<br />
at the River Rock Casino Resort<br />
Thursday morning as excited canine<br />
lovers gathered to meet TV’s dog<br />
whisperer, Cesar Millan.<br />
The famed mentor to man’s best<br />
friend was in town this week for the<br />
Canadian tour of his live show and<br />
took the time to sign autographs and<br />
snap photos with fans.<br />
Many of his admirers were clearly<br />
moved to see the doggy expert in the<br />
flesh — one woman openly wept as<br />
she thanked Millan for strengthening<br />
her relationship with her pets.<br />
“It makes it worth it to know that<br />
people are very grateful for what I<br />
create for them, and the awareness<br />
that I bring for them,” Millan said of<br />
the adulation, adding he was enjoying<br />
meeting his ardent Canadian<br />
devotees. “It’s an overwhelming feeling<br />
of love and appreciation … Canadians<br />
have this welcoming way of<br />
being. It’s very unique. Every coun-<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
try has a certain energy and Canadians<br />
are very apologetic and if they’re<br />
not apologizing they’re admiring<br />
you.”<br />
Nathan Hebb, 8, even skipped<br />
school to meet his idol and came to<br />
the meet-and-greet dressed up as the<br />
reality show host, donning a shirt<br />
that was covered with tiny toy dogs.<br />
“I’m going to be the dog whisperer<br />
for Halloween,” he said proudly.<br />
Millan was touched by Hebb’s devotion.<br />
“Everybody wants to follow someone<br />
who’s doing good. I’m glad that<br />
I’m doing good and that he’s following<br />
the steps of doing good and hopefully<br />
he becomes the next dog whisperer,”<br />
he said.<br />
“I hope a lot of kids in the world<br />
want to be their own dog whisperers.”<br />
Millan returns to the Lower Mainland<br />
for two additional shows on<br />
Nov. 9 and Nov. 10 at the Red Robinson<br />
Show Theatre. Tickets at Ticketmaster.<br />
