Let's see. I was 7 years old when I had the dog. The dog is about 14 years, I grew up with the dog.
Hmmm, I wonder why I love it.
People in my family that have a dog
Great Grandma - Had a dog(Lonely)
Sister - Had a dog(Lonely)
Grandmother - Had a dog(Lonely)
Aunt - Had lots of pets, not just dogs(Lonely)
Other Aunt - Had two dogs(Lonely)
Only one of my friends has a dog, and he's lonely because he is an only child and his dad works.
I have never known someone to have a dog when they have someone to keep them company.
