Hello, Ladies of Hive Community!
Today, is a great day to share with you my answer in one of @elizabethbit’s question.
1️⃣ If you could have any animal for a pet, what would you choose and why? Would you prefer the male or the female animal of that species?
If I could have any animal in the world as a pet, I would select a dog without hesitation. It makes no difference to me whether you're male or female. What is genuinely essential is dogs' unwavering loyalty, delight, and companionship. While many fascinating animals—exotic birds, playful cats, majestic horses, and even unusual creatures like ferrets or reptiles—none capture my heart like dogs.
When you accept a dog into your house, it becomes a member of the family, not just a pet. Dogs are more than just animals to walk and feed. They are dedicated guardians, friends, emotional supporters, and mood boosters daily. Dogs are good at recognizing human emotions. They can determine if you are anxious, upset, joyful, or excited. A dog's calm yet reassuring presence
might feel like a loving hug when the world feels too heavy.
One of the things I admire most about dogs is their loyalty. Whatever happens, a dog will always be by your side. When you're at your lowest, they don't criticize you, hold grudges, or desert you. They are reliable, understanding, and forgiving. No matter how big or small your home is, a dog will find a way to squeeze in to be with you. Furthermore, their eager leaps, admiring gazes, and tail wags make you feel truly treasured and loved when you return home following a long day.
Dogs bring out the best in humans.They show us how to love unconditionally. They serve as a reminder to cherish life's simple joys, such as going for a walk, playing in the yard, or simply reclining together and doing nothing. They teach us responsibility as we learn to feed them, care for their health, and prioritize their needs. They provide pure delight and connection, which money cannot buy.
When it comes to dogs, I don't care about their gender. Dogs, both male and female, have beautiful and distinct personalities. Some are energetic and playful, while others are calm and gentle. Some people want to run around and explore, while others want to cuddle. Each dog has its personality and charm. What matters most is the relationship built on love, trust, and meaningful time together.
Furthermore, dogs are ideal for people of all ages. Children's interactions with dogs teach them empathy and kindness as they grow. Adults seek comfort and fellowship, especially during difficult times. Having a dog at their side also allows elders to stay active and reduces feelings of loneliness.
Aside from their emotional benefits, dogs can also perform essential duties in our lives. Some animals have been trained to aid people with impairments. Others are therapy dogs who bring happiness to families, schools, and hospitals. Rescue dogs and police officers are courageous and conscientious individuals who help to safeguard the community and save lives. Dogs are the most valuable animals to humans in a variety of ways.
I am genuinely grateful for my dogs, Quatro and Potchie. They are more than just pets—they are family, my daily source of comfort and joy. Every moment I spend with them brings peace and light into my life.
Quatro holds a very special place in my heart. He has been with me through one of the darkest times of my life—the loss of my mother two years ago. Quatro stayed by me when I felt alone and broken, offering silent support and unconditional love. His presence helped ease the pain in ways words never could.
Potchie, our newest family member, brought energy and happiness into our home. Quatro and Potchie remind me daily that healing is possible and love can come in many forms. I am so thankful for them—my loyal companions who make life brighter by being with me.
I would always choose a dog if I could have any animal as a companion. How they follow you like you're their entire universe, adore you, and look at you with those expressive eyes is fantastic. Dogs require love, care, and a place to call home, but their hearts are so big that they expect little in return.
