As I was fond of animals, I am really passionate about pets but one such animal that left a lasting impression on me is a lovely dog. This dog was not only my good company but also a lively animal. Therefore, I have chosen to talk about this animal. On my fifth birthday, one of my uncles gifted me this lovely puppy. I basically grew up with it and it became my playmate for donkey sears. I wish I would purchase a golden shepherd in the future. One thing that made my dog so special was its daily routine. Every morning I would take it for walks in the park. When we went there, I would play with it. For example, when I threw a ball, it would bring it back wagging it still out of excitement. My dog was not only playful but also protective. To my surprise, it would start barking loudly whenever I saw an unfamiliar person nearby. It was also a very important thing to protect us from potential threats like burglars at night. The dog’s most noticeable habit was to arch her back to gain my attention. This dog was born in winter and it crawled up in my lap to sleep. This simple gesture truly gave me lasting happiness. The dog’s flip side was that it was afraid of cats and could not tolerate any cats. In conclusion, whenever I think about this dog, I feel nostalgic. It takes me back to my childhood.
