Aloe is the name for a pet who heals. Not literally — though they do make you feel better — but in the way that some animals arrive and you realize certain things in you are slowly becoming less sore. A pet named Aloe is gentle, steady, and quietly restorative. They are the remedy you didn't know you were looking for.
