I live in a place where there is so much hatred for pets and as such I can't keep pets because the least moment it goes out, it will not come home again. And for the records I live in a loose building that's my place doesn't have fence round it so I suffer so much I'll keeping pets.
But I once had a dog I called Bobby and Bobby taught me so much and I want to share just three(3) with us.
LESSON 1: LEARN TO BUILD INTIMACY WITH PEOPLE
APPLICATION:
Through Bobby I have learnt to trust people just they way are.
When we first got Bobby, he was very tiny and was always alone all by himself but as Bobby grew, Bobby began getting very close to us most especially me because I love it.
Bobby would always run to me anytime he sees me even when he has done something wrong and I want to discipline him and Bobby always knew I mean well for him even when am beating Bobby.
Personally I don't really relate with many people cause I can't build intimacy with all so I just limit my friends just so that I can remain true to them.
LESSON 2: GIVING TO LOVED ONES
APPLICATION:
For me I think that everyone that ones to go into a relationship should first go and learn how to reciprocate love from pets.
Bobby gave me his time and attention whenever I needed Bobby.
Sometimes we limit love to just buying things for our maybe spouse if married but so much more is that communication is the most ideal thing in a relationship whether in marriage or in courtship.
Thanks to Bobby cause I now understand the importance of giving my friends my time.
LESSON 3: LEARN TO PROTECT THE INTEREST OF YOUR LOVED ONES.
APPLICATION:
There was one faithful weekend mum wanted to run clean up at home and burn up old properties so in the process, mummy picked one of my old shoe to burn but Bobby resisted her strongly.
I was not around home that morning but when I came back I was told about it but even before I was told, I observed that Bobby wasn't happy even when he saw me coming back and didn't run to come greet me which is not his attitude and so when I went in to ask what happened they told me everything.
If I love you I will take your property to heart and will always fight to keep it safe.
CONCLUSION
Now, I agree that pets shows love to everyone around and most especially can protect the interest of their owners. I loved Bobby and am still heart broken that I lost Bobby. I love @Fur-friends
