Dog answers two very different calls for help from women. In the first case, he helps Leland protect Maria, who’s being threatened by her violent husband. After making sure Maria and her children are safe, Dog keeps his promise to visit a young woman who’s dying of cancer and has asked to see Dog as one of her final wishes. As Dog goes to see her, we discover why this is going to be an especially emotional experience for Dog — he’s had to deal with the loss of a child.
