a man and his dog
There is such loyalty of dogs to the people who own them. I don’t have pets due to allergies, but if I did, it would be a dog rather than a cat/bird/fish/whatever. And, it would be a medium size dog, not a tiny one. But, aside from the allergy issue, I don’t believe animals should live indoors as most house pets do. Animals for eons roamed free. I believe they prefer nature, trees, streams, fresh air. It is said that if cats were larger than their owners, the owners would be their meal. I don’t know if that’s true but it doesn’t surprise me if it is. At first, animals were domesticated for purposes of having food one didn’t have to hunt. How they moved from food sources to house pets I am unsure. All this said, my friend in this photo had a special bond with his dog and he was pleased beyond words when I found this old image and sent it to him.
I don't mind a doghouse but where we are they can be stolen if outside the main house :)
That's too bad. I previously lived in a neighborhood where skis were stolen (without the ski boots), plants in flower pots, anything not locked up at night, so I know what you mean.
Yeah even our poor pigeons got stolen..thievery for a little money how sad is that.
Terrible!
