A MAN'S BESTFRIEND

"Dogs are not just a pet, they are a family.”

To start, I have two lovely and very playful healthy dogs namely Chopper and Nami. I will now share with you why they became part of my family and in my life. Nami, who was just found on my father's facebook as he was scrolling through his phone, he saw a post about a dog that is for sale and it was also posted that it was a chihuahua so we've decided to buy it. At that time that we were about to get here I cannot contain my excitement because finally we will have a new pet.

Second, she finally arrived and surprisingly, in the first three days, I felt that she was uncomfortable and she did not eat and she is always crying and barking if I will leave her alone. So at that time I started to feel anxious and what I did I always sat next to her and I also tried to google the things that I should do. I've decided to text the owner and the owner said Nami was not yet deworm so when the owner started deworming her, that's the time that she started to eat and slowly but surely she was starting to feel at home and I was so happy.

After how many weeks, I started training Nami, such as potty training, obeying commands and don'ts of a home dog. Fast forward, before the time that the big typhoon Odette hit Cebu, my friend promised me that he would give me a dog and before he gave it to me, I always visited the dog and named it Chopper. And when the typhoon hits, luckily he survived. Since it was a big typhoon, he struggled so much but I was relieved because my friend took care of it safely. I was very proud because that's how strong my baby boy is. It was on the 3rd of February 2022, that he is finally home. He was just easily comfortable because he already knows my smell. But, on the other hand, Nami was very surprised moreover as time went by, they became best of friends. I also trained Chopper like how I trained Nami.

I never thought I would ever pet or love a dog so much because all I can say is dogs are the best companions in life, they are much more valuable and they bring so much joy that I get to have a good morning lick, wagging tail and playful smile I always cherish and sometimes, I can say that they are too good to me but nevertheless, they are one of the most constant and loyal family because they will never leave by your side.

Finally, because of Nami and Chopper, they helped me realize that I need to be financially stable in the future so that I could be a big help to all the stray dogs in need and to join an organization who has the same goal with me as well. And that thought, made me appreciate all the dogs because they are worthy of love and care after all.
