Canine friends..

I have always loved dogs. My canine friends, thats what I call them! I have had their company at home ever since I was about two years old. People who have had pets at home tend to get attached to them very much. It was the same with me too. At one time we had three dogs. A small canine family of three! Now its just one. My favorite was called Pintu, a gem of a dog. He was a very friendly pomarian. Always waited for me when I came back home from school. I used to pull his whiskers, and he never seemed to mind.( You generally cant to that with most dogs!).He used rub himself against my legs until I patted him. He lived for almost sixteen years. He was a plaything for me at first. He once fell seriously ill. The fear of losing him made me realise that he meant so much to me. But fortunately he recovered and lived for several more years.
Pets according to me make us better people. They teach us to care,love and be loved.
