Sometimes, i wonder about the conditions with which we certify a person as our best friend. Generally the words, loyalty, love and understanding are associated with friendship. The rapid changing phases of our life introduce us to a number of people. Some of them just walk past, whereas some others touch our lives. Its like the Shakespearean quote: "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages". One of those many parts being the act of becoming a good friend. Not always is the friend a person. For once your pal could be canine. Yes, a dog. :)
I have never owned a dog. In fact, I was pretty scared of them. Especially, when they bark. But sometimes things change in our life, surprising even ourselves. My hubby plays an important role in this change. His love towards dogs encouraged me to give a try on being friends with them and coming out of my closed loop. I started off by visiting the neighbourhood dog park with him. And oh dear! That was some revelation. The love and friendliness that they poured on us was really touching. They loved to be pet and attended to just like kids do. They would run around us and wait to be pet, all the time. Once they see their master they run off to them. Ofcourse, they will always have that special affection towards their master. It was purely love and loyalty. All they wanted was a loving pat. Its like how my hubby says, give them love and they will love you all their life. Having a dog is top on my wishlist now. Of course, every man-friend of ours is always there for us, but this guy is truly special.
