Well, I love wild animals in Veipopamaus. Elephants, dolphins, and squirrels are included. But today I would like to explain one of my favorite pets that I like the most. It was the time when I was 13 years old and my uncle took in a small baby dog. We called it David. We stayed at our uncle's house for six to five months. My uncle took it from a training center and he was very small, around one year old at that time. He really needed relatively more attention because he was too small. Firstly, if I can talk about his treatment, we vaccinated him in order to protect him from disease. We also bathed him three to four times a week. We gave him small pieces of chicken and we were very aware of his diet. After that, this is a very awful situation for me to describe. When he grew up and reached the age of three years, he developed a disease, and this disease was really fatal for him. He was no more. These were very sorrowful moments for all of us. We wept a lot, but we learned a lot of lessons from that experience.
