This is so true @gooddream, dogs are just pets but with time they become real family. I have a dog too. And he became a part of life.
There are many health issues with dogs so it is necessary to take them to doctor every month. I believe that one can never leave a dog behind if you shift to some other country or place. Because I myself can't.
Your emotions and love for your pets and family are visible and I really appreciate this. Keep up the good work my friend.
