Dogs

Prompt: Favorite Animals
"Some people talk to animals. Not many listen though. That’s the problem."
A.A. Milne
Which animals are your favorites? Write about your relationship to all animals and if there is or was a special animal in your life.

I do love animals and that’s a fact. I get more affected by cruelty to animals than people. Perhaps that’s wrong but animals have little choice as to their circumstances. They’re often reliant on humans for food and shelter and mostly they trust us. How can people abuse them?
My favourite animal are dogs. We’ve always owned a dog, right back to being a small child I can never remember being without a dog.
My darling Lucy died this year at almost 13 years old. I miss her every day.
My husband wants to get another one but he’s 82, is it fair on the dog? I guess a dog doesn’t care how old their owners are but I still have reservations. I’ll make it public if and when we decide to bite the bullet.
