I met various domestic animals in my friends’ and acquaintances’ houses – cats, hamsters, snakes, and even spiders. However, dogs, among all pets, are distinguished by intense devotion and love for their owner. Upon returning home, the dogs’ owners are greeted with joyful eyes filled with sincere love. They are also worried when the owners have a bad mood and rejoice their positive attitude. I always admired this quality of them, and for this reason, I, despite my love for all animals, prefer dogs. Two pets lived in my family – beagle Daisy and labrador Sammy, and the second is still with us. Both dogs became members of our family, but each has its own unique character. Daisy was actually my mom’s dog and lived with her before I was born. Mother trained Daisy diligently, and she was an obedient dog and only sometimes allowed herself a little misbehavior. Although she was very friendly and even tried to take care of me when I was growing up, my mother was the real owner. My parents told me how I learned to walk holding hands for Daisy. However, this dog’s patience was enough only for a short time, and she quickly ran away to her mistress or just played somewhere else. Like all beagle dogs, Daisy was quite stunning and charming. She was low, but at the same time, relatively strong, and her ears hung cute when running. Daisy had a standard color for her breed – a combination of red, white, and black shades. We took good care of this girl, and her wool was shinny while walking on a sunny day. Our acquaintances, dog lovers, have always admired her, but Daisy’s beauty is not her leading quality.

Growing up, the girl became more careful, and I only remember that she played more with her trusted friends. She was disappointed when she had to go home. In this case, the walk was shorter than usual, Daisy even tried to trick us, pretending that she did not understand that it was time to leave. Sammy appeared a few years after Daisy died, and he is mine. On the day of our first meeting, when I came to choose a puppy, he immediately noticed me. Not paying attention to the other people around him, the puppy ran up to me and almost jumped in my arms – he chose his human. For the first few days, he was getting accustomed to a new house and was very modest. However, over time, he began to feel like a full-fledged member of the family. In order to take proper care of Sammy and raise him, I went to obedience school. Besides direct dog training, the coach also taught the owners how to behave in a way that cannot spoil or offend their pets. The upbringing was quite long, but the effort paid off with his good behavior at the current age. Sammy’s devotion to me continues over years, and this is an incredible feeling – to be the center of the world for him. Sammy is huge, and his color is light, although he cannot
