What is your favorite animal?

Man’s best friend

Of all the animals, I love dogs the most. There’s a reason it’s dubbed “man’s best friend.” It loves without conditions and has a strong emotional sensibility. We had a dog named Jimmy when we were kids. In addition to being a loving and amiable member of our family, she also protected and guided our house. Maybe my early interactions with Jimmy shaped my love for dogs.

I have occasionally made a self-promise to purchase one specifically for my children. It has recently come to my attention that my young daughters who have not had the opportunity to spend time with these beautiful animals have grown to feel a deep affection for them as well. My youngest daughter in particular makes me think of how I felt and still feel for man’s best friend when I watch her interactions with dogs on our walk to school. For the fifth time, I asked her if I should get us a puppy 🐕, and her response was as strong as the first time: perhaps it’s time, but our only issue is still the state of our living area and cost of nurturing one.
