There can be a bond between an animal and a person that needs no words. A love that is shared between the two that often no body else can understand.
It is that way with my little Rouge and our loved family dog Duke. Duke is a Labrador x Golden Retriever and he is BIG! He is very energetic and some would say dopey, but Rouge and he have a connection. It's amazing to watch them together, her being so small and he being so big.
This is why I think having a pet (of any sort) is so important for childhood. Pets help teach responsibility, limits, boundaries, love and that special ability - unconditional love.
Aah, this is lovely...we haven't had pets since our cats rehomed themselves after we had Max (cats are so fickle!) but in 2 weeks we are getting a puppy! We are SO excited. It is going to be a lot of work, and I'm feeling a tad overwhelmed at the prospect - thanks for reminding me why we're doing it! These photos are so beautiful, and that last one almost brought a tear to my eye! Rachel x
