It all started in 2002, when Tali's mini-dachshund Wendell was a wee pup. Ophi and Tali were studying Reiki, an energy healing practice that involves the body's seven chakras, or energy centers. Little Wendell was in the room the whole time and it seemed he became a Reiki master! After that day, he began plopping down on Tali's heart chakra whenever she was sad. If friends came over for a shoulder to cry on, Wendell ran to give them positive, loving energy by pressing his warm little body against their chests. And so, he became known as Wendell the Love Dach, healer of hearts.
