I went to watch the movie [10 PROMISES TO THE DOG]. It is a very touching movie and if you are a dog lover, you can't miss this show. Tears even roll down from my eyes towards end of the show.
One of the scene that touched my heart is that when the dog (SOCKS), getting old and is about time for her to leave the world, she still hold the last breath waiting for her owner to come back, to accompany her till she leave.



When we keep a dog, we feel that they just play with us and taken up small part of our time. In fact, dogs do have feeling, they care about us whole heartly but sometimes we neglect them and sometimes will find they are nuisance or burden (like can't go holiday cos no one take care of them). In fact, dog life span is much shorter than human. From puppy to till they leave, average 10 years. We have family, friends, activities, but dog only have their owner. They devoted their whole life to their owner but do ask yourself how much do you commitment have you given to them?

I am a dog lover but i will never keep a dog anymore. Not because i find it is a burden or costly. I will never forget the 'pain' in my heart when my dog leave me. When 'Bonnie' leave me, I was only 17 years old. That was the first time i felt "生离死别". It was almost one week i could not eat and sleep, I did not attend school. Bonnie is not a branded dog, it was abandon by her owner, and my grandfather picked her up. She was a very cunning but obedient. The 7 years that she spent with me had given me a lot of laughter and companionship, but i took things for granted. Never thought she would leave me so sudden, so sometimes we will always 'fight' and Bonnie was the one always gave in to me.

Now also due to my health condition, I am unable to keep dog anymore. Life is always ironical, I like dogs but i am not eligible. So, now what i can only do is go to the pet shop sometimes to glance at the dogs.

I felt the pressure and stress of having two dogs in my house but i will feel the loneliness if my dogs were to go away.....

But life is like that right? Just treasure them while they are around....:D
