I am basically a dog lover. I had a dog that lived for 15 years. It is such a pleasure of owing a pet. I consider pets to be part of the family. Pets and dogs in particular are loyal companions and a source of happiness. Pet ownership is a big duty because the life of the pet relies on the owner’s care. I am committed, patient, observant, organised and most of all caring. Dogs require more attention, time and energy than cats do, I enjoy walks or hikes in the outdoors and playing with the dog. The excitement your dog shows when you come home, the wagging tail at the sound of the leash being taken from its hook, the delight in the tossing of a tennis ball, and the head nestled in your lap-those are only some of the rewards of owing a dog. I consider that owning a dog is not just a privilege-it's a responsibility. I am serious about the commitment that dog ownership entails.
