Task: Question Answering
Input (English): So about the puppy ... I would have posted more yesterday , but I also got a fantastically horrible stomach virus yesterday , and it was just making me completely useless when I made that post . Anyways no one care about my sick tummy , you all just want to hear about the puppy . It's ok I understand . She is an 8 week old black lab / shephard mix . She has a little bit of that choclate coloring to her in the sunlight , and she has a white streak going down her chest . We went to Operation Kindness , which is a local no kill shelter about 5 minutes from us , with the intention of looking to consider adopting , and well , she suckered me in . 
Question: Why did I get a puppy ?
Output (English): Because I wanted a companion .
