Bonjour!

This is actually my personal story. I always wanted a dog and I used to ask my parents about having a dog very frequently but they couldn't agree because we already had a cat. 

My mom is too sympathetic for animals. She loves animals way more than I do and always helps animals that are in trouble within her sight. So one fine day a friend of mine asked me if I could adopt a dog. He said ‘I cant have him (the dog) because I already have two dogs in my home’ and that the dog was suffering from lack of people adopting him. So I told my mom about the dog my friend asked me about and somehow she agreed for having him. But she also gave an ultimatum that if the dog and the cat that we had dont get along the I should find a family or person who will take care of the dog and that I should give away the dog. I agreed to this and getting very excited I went to my friend to get the dog the very next day. I live in  Visakhapatnam also called as the “City of Destination” and in this beautiful city we have many places to visit in which our beaches top the list. So my friend said that he would bring the dog to the beach and that I should come to beach and get him (the dog).

I went to the beach had some fun with the dog and also the pets of my friend. I took him and came back home on a scooty and he was sitting like a cute little baby in the leg space. After bringing him home my sister who lives in Chennai invited him with a video call and my mom put a  bindi /tika on his forehead as hindus naturally do when somebody visits their home for the first time. He had his treats and some water and I named him ‘bolt’. I had a lot of fun the first day giving him treats, taking him on the walks, playing with him and I also taught him to shake hand. 

But it looked like my cat was afraid of bolt  and she wanted to claw his face. I observed this but i thought they would get along after one day or two. But it was too hard to protect bolt from my cat because bolt  was only two months old and my cat was one year old. I had to take leave from my college for three days to keep my cat away from bolt  and to protect him. I had no sleep even for a second at nights playing with bolt and protecting him from my cat. On the third day my cat came close to bolt and almost clawed him. I pushed the cat away and saved him. Then immediately I decided to find new home for bolt  because it was too hard for me also and for bolt  too. I contacted my friends and found a new home and I also checked if they will take good care of him. And I found out they are very good people and used to have pets before. So I decided to give away bolt  for his safety. But only in three days I got such bonding with him I will never forget him in my life. But I know that he is happy and that's the thing that matters..I miss him too much but I also love my cat so I will be happy with her.

Have a great day💖
