Me and my family have always been dog lovers, and ever since I can remember there was a dog in my house.   Many of that dogs have been there because of me, I bring the unannounced and make them family.   I remember a special one I had 6 years ago, at that time we didn't had any pets in my house and I don't like being in a house without any animals, I think it’s something about their joy when they see you and their sad face when you’re gone that I like.    They make you feel like you’re never alone.   So I decided that even though my mother didn't agree I had to find a dog, I started looking for one and like always convinced my dad to be my partner in crime.   We found a very pretty one, and my dad took me to the store and bought it for me and told me that if my mom asked he would deny it, as always.   So I went home with my puppy as happy as ever, and as I promise I told my mom that I’ve bought it with all of my savings.    They all loved him and welcome him.   He was part of the family, he was as small as a basket ball but he was like the guardian of the house.    He barked every time he heard someone around but he had a way of knowing it was me even when I was still outside.   He stayed in silence when I got home late more times than I can remember and I will always be thankful for that.  

One summer, we went to my aunt’s county house and as always he had to be around.   That night after dinner we went to bed and he slept outside my door room as usual.   I don't know what happened then, but when I woke up he wasn’t there.    I cried and got mad, blaming everyone but myself.   We went on the car all around the house looking for him and calling his name, but there was no answer back.   I went back inside hoping he came back then they told me the terrible news.   Bimbo went out and got in a fight, some street dogs we’re around our house, so he didn't had a chance.    We buried him beneath the trees and I will always think of him as the greatest guardian there could ever be.     I still love dogs and I love the things they teach you.    It wasn't long till I got a new dog,  once again with my father by my side.    I hope when I get old I become the kind of mom that will be their daughter’s parter in crime.
