I don't just love animals.
I live next to a dog who feels my mood better than any words.
He knows when I need to leave the house - then he comes with a leash in his teeth.
He knows when I'm sad - then he just lies down next to me and puts his paw on my leg.
And, to be honest, sometimes I think: he's my best partner. No scandals, no jealousy, no "why didn't you write".

He has his own quirks. He is afraid of thunder, doesn’t like cucumbers (seriously!), and always grumbles indignantly when I talk on the phone for a long time instead of scratching his ear.
But it is these little things that make our connection real.

Sometimes I imagine that he is my first “filter” in front of all men.
Because if someone wants to be a part of my life, they will have to make friends with the main “man” in my house 🐾😉

I believe that dogs are our mirrors.
And if he is kind, cheerful, a little jealous, very loyal and gentle —
then maybe I am too.

Love your animals.
Because sometimes they save us from loneliness better than any words.
