I love dogs! Ngunit lumaki ako na hindi man lang nagkaroon ng aso. My parents wouldn't let me. Magastos at mahirap daw mag-alaga. Ngayong hindi na ako nakatira sa poder ng mga magulang ko, pwede na akong mag-alaga! Parang nakikisama ang langit dahil isang araw, may natagpuan akong isang aso. Isang malaking aso! Nanghihina ito at may mga sugat rin. I brought it home to tend to its wounds. Pinakain ko rin ito and I decided to take care of it. But, one day, my dog started acting weird. Palagi itong nagpupumilit na sumama sa loob ng banyo kapag maliligo ako. He would always sit still and watch me while I take a bath. It's kinda creepy.
