Chica may or may not have remembered the specific events of the rescue, but she would have
remembered the emotional part of it. That she was lost and terrified and that you saved her,
protected her from harm. That is why she would go to you when scared for the rest of her life.

The protection/safety/adoration theme is clear in the picture as I noted, even when I did not know the back story.

Yes it was obvious as well that the technical pieces of the photo were in place.

You said it was a selfie, how did you take the picture?
Is your other hand stretched out, or is there some sort of other mechanism to snap the picture?
