Personal Narrative: Looking For A Dog In My Family

Decent Essays
My family and I have been looking for a dog ever since our poodle passed away three years ago. We think that this particular dog, and the breed, would be a good fit for us. With a son who has autism, he would love to have a companion to play with. My mother-in-law currently has a shih-tzu named Cocoa, and my son adores her, feeds her, plays with her, and cuddles her. My two daughters are also very affectionate and would enjoy taking care of a dog to call their own. We believe in being gentle with pets and showing it the love it needs.

My wife is always at home, and if she's gone there's always someone else here. Chili will never have to be alone, and will be cuddled and played with by everyone in the family. We have a two story house and

    What my dog has taught me Humans are basically social animals, and in learning to coexist more peacefully, our pets could teach us a thing or two. Humans are sometimes arrogant enough to believe that our lives matter more than others, but in owning a dog it 's clear to see why it doesn 't. I know some people consider their pets as a part of their families. I strongly agree with that stance towards the dog I have in my home. Having been a dog owner since the age of nine, I can claim that a lot of growing and maturing goes on during that timeframe. Pets have this ability to teach people things that even humans cannot.…
