Like with their children, people frequently express their affection for their pet dogs in the same way, and the relationship is reciprocal. The thing that I adore the most about this animal is that it/he is always willing to give its/his owner unconditional love. Your dog is still eagerly awaiting your return and a warm greeting, even if you've been so busy that you haven't had time to give it the care it needs. You can always count on your canine companion to cheer you up and make you feel better when you're feeling low and believe nobody loves you. Whether you've been gone for five hours or five minutes, they never pass judgement and are always delighted to see you. And I love the saying "a pet dog can seem like a member of the family" that will always remind me why I am so happy working with pets...
