Bestest Friend
I remember as a child, my family always had dogs for pets. My father was the one very fond of this creatures. I remember having our first dog, named Bamba. She is a local breed with white thin fur.We had her when we were still living in Pasig, in Tabing-Ilog. And that was when I was 7 years old. But then we had to move to Tanay because my father is originally from that town, Bamba got lost after a few days because maybe she attempted to go back to Pasig. Luckily she found her way back with us.
When she died because of old age, we got another dog, a male one this time and we named him "Liit: because he was really tiny when he was still a pup. When he was almost an adult, my Dad got him a partner. and named her Misty because her eyes looked gray and smoky. We were already teenagers by then, and as time passed the dogs got old themselves until it was time to say good bye. But my father never got tired. He took another dog again, a male and a female until the two had puppies. We took one for our own and named him Punggito simply because he had no tail. Time passed until my Father got very ill and then died at the age of 67. It was a crucial period for everybody in the family.
I had my own family by then, and Punggito lived for almost 6 years with us. After that he suddenly got ill and died. It was a very saddening experience. I promised myself I will not have another dog in the family again because it hurts so much when they leave..., but things changed when another one came to our family. She is truly man's best friend because she loves us back unconditionally and gives joy to our family.
