Animals have feelings, too, especially dogs. Never let them feel that they are unwanted. Love them as if they are your child. And dogs are just so loyal that you will never be disappointed. Yes, they make a mess in the house. But if you teach them properly, they will go outside the house and do their work. If you love them, then they will love you even more. If you always be displeased with dogs, they will come to bite you, or else he will start fearing you. Animals are also living things, and they also have emotions. So why treat someone terribly? You people can feed bread or biscuits to the dogs roaming on the road. At least to the dogs of your surrounding areas.
All animals deserve affection from humans. What would happen if Deedo had got that wallet but had not recognized whose wallet it was? Avi’s father may not have loved Deedo. But Deedo respected him because he let him stay in the house. Before having a pet, always make sure that you have enough time and money to spend on them and whether your family will accept them wholeheartedly.
