Little brother

Yes, I'm an animals' lover and I'll defend them till my death. That is how I wanted to start my weekly post, talking about one of my passions. I have always thought that animals give us happiness, company, and lessons of humanity, that it is the most important thing. They are always helping each other and even helping us, protecting us from any risk we could run, they love us more than anything in life because for them we are their reason to be alived, and that is very beautiful. For all those reasons I have never understood how a person could have a pet and then prefer going on holidays even if he or she has to abandoned it in somewhere far away from his or her house. If you have a pet, you have a responsability, they are like childs, they cannot live without us, they are a living beings, they suffer, they are scared of the unknown, and they don't want to be alone. We have to treat them like if they were our sons, because that is what having a pet means. I had a dog and for me it was my little brother, I have always loved him and I'll always do. I remember that every time we had to go and leave him alone in my house, we had to turn on a light because he was scared of the darkness, he cried a lot if we tried to go without turning on that light. For my mother it was like the son she never could have had, Two years ago it passed away, it was at night when my sister (who also thought it was his brother) walked on it without being realised of that, it started screaming and then it just calmed down. As Laky(it was its name) was a really nervous dog and he never stopped moving, we had walked on it many times, so she just didn't worried about that, but then, it stopped and was really strange, so my sister took it and it started breathing really quickly, my sister took it to the veterinarian but they couldn't do anything, so my dog died from a heart attack and with it, my little brother too. I couldn't believe it when my mother told me that, I was just too scared, I just wanted my little brother next to me, but it just passed away. That was one of the worst nights of my life, so from that day I became an animals' lover and I try to help every animal I see, that is why I can't understand when a family prefer to abandoned their little pet than to stay with it at home, if you will do that, you can't have a pet, it is not just a toy. From that day I decided to get a tattoo of its footprint in my wrist and tomorrow is the day I will have the tattoo of my little brother, the best dog I could ever had.
