Why Cave Is the CaveInn’s Resident Therapist

If you’ve ever met Cave, you already know — he has a gift. He doesn’t need a degree on the wall or an office full of books to be the world’s best therapist. His tools are simpler: a steady gaze, a soft coat, a warm presence, and a heart that seems to understand people before they ever say a word.

Cave has this incredible ability to sense when someone needs comfort. He’ll quietly walk over, rest his head gently on your knee, and suddenly whatever felt heavy becomes just a little lighter. No judgment, no questions — just unconditional loyalty. His calm steadiness has been there through some of our hardest days, and his joy has lifted some of our best.

He teaches us to slow down. To breathe. To step outside and feel the sun. To find happiness in simple things like a long walk, a cozy nap, or a shared moment of stillness. Cave has supported our family for nine beautiful years, and his wisdom shows in the way he reads people and responds with exactly what they need.

We joke that Cave runs his own kind of therapy practice here — listening with his whole heart, offering the kind of comfort only a Labrador can, and reminding us every day that love doesn’t need words to heal.

Some dogs are companions.
But Cave?
He’s the therapist we didn’t even know we needed. 🐾❤️
