No house is a home without the pet fur all around!

I was in class 12th. Vulnerable, weak, anxious , scoring low and what not. One fine day, my dad and brother just decided to bring home this little bundle of joy. Even a good news like this made me anxious about having a pet at this stage. I was curious and anxious at the same time. How are we going to look after him? How is he going to learn things? Will I be able to love him as much as he deserves? There was a bundle of questions running in my mind. My parents were totally unaware about the hustle I used to have. I was sitting in the car and my family was only discussing about this 40 days old munchkin we were bringing home. My heart was worried , If I would ever be able to love an animal the way I used to love humans? It was a complete blunder in my head.

And then, I saw him. He was totally looking like a big mouse or something. Completly white and a bit of beige. I saw him running towards me, I could see how naughty his eyes were! He was the cutest and most beautiful dog I would have ever seen!

Days went on, The name we decided was totally what he signified," LEO". The big big eyes and the rough tough aura! Leo became the light of our lives. He was , is and always be the best boy we could've asked for! A perfect labrador who enlightens our lives! He even makes my parents relive their childhood days. To be honest , he's the most spoiled kid of the house by now! he is the charmer and heartkeeper of our hearts. He barks on totally randon noises and irrelevant stuff. He makes sure we wake up in the middle of the night for no reason.

Leo is turning 3 years old in Aug,19 . Seeing last three years, i can totally accept the fact that my heart has grown bigger. I've learnt to love animals more than humans. Now I know how be humble and polite even if their is no reason to be. After these three years I can pour my heart out and tell the entire world about him , that too non-stop! I am glad that he is going to be the first love of my life and I am lucky enough to tell the world that first loves may not always lead to heartbreaks.

Leo managed to love me more than I could have ever asked for. He doesn't know much about love and still managed to give lots of it. He is a golden boy with a golden heart. I was so vulnerable when I heard we were getting a dog. Someone was true enough to say , God sends us some Angels when we need them the most, I guess Leo is my angel. Sometimes my heart breaks, that he will leave us one day, and I just cannot understand why is this supposed to happen this way. I guess dogs just come and bless us with the sunshine to live a life without worrying much. They teach us to be better and love things no matter how they are!

Someone was sane enough to say that ," Every human deserves a pet!"
