Stress and depression disappear in the presence of a lovable canine companion, racing at full speed to greet you. This is definitely what I need to give my mind a break from stress and lonely feeling that haunt me everyday. Five years of attempt, five years of loneliness, five years of sadness. I have asked for a puppy almost for half of my life and I still haven’t got the idea why I couldn’t have one. I mean, dogs are man’s (and woman’s actually) BEST friend! I believe my family was the only one who’s going to be better than a good, well trained canine companion.

Even though, I’m inside an Islamic country, and my maids can’t touch it, so what!! They’re not the one who’s going to take care of my dog; it will be me, and only me. If you say I got no responsibility, time, knowledge, and power for a puppy, you’re extremely wrong. One day, I found a puppy that is not really taken care by his owner. So every day, I give him milk, food and lessons for this puppy. I also wash him, and it seems that I care for this dog more than his owner. The dog also seems so like me better! When you say knowledge, you can see a bookshelf full of dog books inside my room, and I have read each and every single one of it. For time, I’m sure I can wake earlier to take my dog to a walk, and after school, I can spend time with him too. For power, it’s clearly not a problem for dog lovers. We can spend all day long without being tired, playing with a dog! So, how about considering getting me a puppy now? (NN, kelas VI SD, 5 September 2008, Kelapa Gading Jakarta Utara)
