The Ones Who Come

The life of Cesar Millan, dog trainer extraordinaire, began far from the glossy world of television studios. As a young man, he crossed the border into the United States with almost nothing—no English, no money, only instinct. He worked as a dog groomer’s assistant in Los Angeles, but people soon noticed that when their pets were too difficult or aggressive for others, Cesar could handle them calmly.

The cases that built his reputation were the unmanageable Rottweilers, German shepherds, and other powerful breeds. Where others saw danger, he carried calm leadership. Just as Cesar’s success came not from the easy dogs but from the fierce ones that others feared or rejected, we do not choose who comes to us in life. We don’t handpick our companions, our students, our audience, or our circumstances. If we have something to give, those who need it will find us. They may not look like what we expected. But they are ours.
