The people who think I'm crazy for saying my dog is one of my best friends. The people who are grossed out when my dog sheds on them. The people who think it's a waste of time to dedicate my life to both humans and animals.
They have never owned a pet, therefore they do not know how strong the animal-human bond can be. They don't understand the unconditional love that an animal will give their owner. They think it's a waste of time and money to own a pet. They believe that animals only 'love' because we feed them. They don't think animals communicate (with humans or other animals, hence when a dog barks, it's just being loud). They don't think animals have the ability to feel, fear, ration, etc.
They'll never know until they own one. They'll never understand. I don't care how many animals they've been around, they have to live with one to know--because of this, I pity them greatly.
I'm proud to say that Sparky has impacted me in more ways than I can name. I cannot fathom who I'd be, had I not owned him. He has been there for me when my friends and family have not. He is the reason why I will never give up on trying to be a Veterinarian. I want to help lengthen pets lives--not just for them, but for their owners as well. We need our pets more than they'll ever need us.

" A dog has no use for fancy cars, big homes, or designer clothes. A water log stick will do just fine. A dog doesn't care if your rich or poor, clever or dull, smart or dumb. Give him your heart and he'll give you his. How many people can you say that about? How many people can make you feel rare and pure and special? How many people can make you feel extraordinary?"
