In our fast-moving, complicated, algorithm-driven world, it can be easy to lose sight of all the miraculous little wonders that life has to offer, like the belly laughter of a chubby toddler or the wiggle of an excited pug’s rump.

Madi and her pup found wonder that day in the form of a simple battery-operated flashlight. No bells or whistles. No flashing screens. Just an ordinary flashlight and a stretch of hallway.
