“The bond with a true dog is as lasting as the ties of this earth will ever be.” – Konrad Lorenzl

What is your favorite pet? Give your reasons.

Several studies have shown that interactions between humans and their dogs increased aka the feel-good hormone oxytocin levels, in both people and their pets.

The Ancient Egyptians saw dogs as god-like!

Dogs are the most popular pet on the earth! It is a very social creature.

They evolved from a now-extinct wolf species.

Our noses are at least 40 times less sensitive than dogs! Dogs may even be able to sniff out cancer cells and other desiases in human body as well as human emotions simply through smelling someone's breath.

They can learn over 100 words and gestures including their own name and various nicknames!

Dogs mental ability is close to 2-2.5 years old child's intelligence as per the study of Coren.

Many work as assistance dogs, helping humans!

Dogs use body language to express their feelings. They “talk” to each other through sound, scents, and gestures.

They can learn to recognize the pattern of letters and simple words, as well as what those words mean.

Dogs' Age	Humans' Age
First 8 weeks	First 9 months
2 - 6 months	1 - 12 years
6 months - 2 years	12 - 25 years
2 - 7 years	25 - 50 years

A dog's emotional development happens more quickly than a child, having achieved its full emotional capacity – including affection and love – by 4-6 months of age.

If not, will you take it to your house? How will you carry it?

The dog will likely display the greatest range of reactions to self-restraint and handling. Some dogs are cooperative and calm; others respond aggressively.

I know that some professional skills like lifting a dog, using collar and leashes or Muzzles is utmost important thing to be carried out very carefully.

During transit from pick up point to my place:

I'll Secure my pet using either a crate, harness or carrier.

Carry plenty of water to keep her cool.

An airconditioner car is safe if the air don't hit her face directly.

Take break so that she could stretch her legs, drink water and go to toilet.

She should br provided with the familiar blanket or toys.

She should eat two hours prior to journey.

What have you prepared for your favorite pet. About his house, About his care, About his food, About everything. Explain

Just like humans, dogs have needs and feelings and they have to be taken care of properly. They need regular healthy food, walking, a clean, cosy place to sleep and lots and lots of affection and love!

Dogs are social Animals that seek attention; they are not happy alone outside.

According to dog's need, I will provide it a comfortable, dry, draught-free, clean and quiet place to rest undisturbed with comfortable and safe environment and change her bedding regularly and make sure it's comfortable. I will not keep it in a cold or wet place that can make my dog unwell. Dog will be given access to fresh water and an area to go to the toilet regularly .

Expenses will vary depending on my dog's individual needs, size, pet insurance plan's costs, and health status. According to a survey it is about $40 - $290 per month.

Her food essentially include:

Chicken, beef, goat.
The slice of cheese.
Vegetables.
Peanut butter.
Eggs.
Fruit.
Specially-formulated dog food.
