Listen to a story!
I am an employee. Every day I leave home at 7 am and it is evening when I come home after finishing my office work. I noticed that my house is empty when I am at the office. The empty house has lots of expensive stuff. Because of this, I don’t think the house is safe.
That’s why I decided that the house needs a dog. I think it will guard my house and keep me company. Also, since I don’t live with my family, it won’t make me feel lonely.
I wake up at 5 am every morning to go to the office and I go to the washroom to freshen myself up. Then I pray for some time. After prayer, I start exercising at 6 o’clock to keep my body healthy. Then I make breakfast for myself and my dog, FICO.
FICO is a very calm dog. He is very much a devotee of the Lord. He sleeps next to me at night and sometimes wanders around the house. I feed FICO and start feeding myself. At that time he wanders around my house. Then I get ready for the office and leave. I leave enough food for FICO so that he can eat all day.
When I return home in the evening, I find him waiting for me and as soon as he sees me, he runs and hugs me. One day I noticed that several parts of his body looked injured. I checked the CCTV of the house and saw that some burglars had come to the house. When they tried to enter through the door and window, FICO stopped them and fought with them for some time. At one point they were forced to leave the house. I looked at FICO and thought, “If you hadn’t been here today, what a disaster!”
I think every home should have a pet dog. We get various benefits from this, such as:
- Loneliness is removed.
- A good friend is found.
- Perfect for entertaining.
- Home security can be assured.
- Protection from different types of wild animals.
- Travel companion.
- Animal husbandry and protection.
- Helps the owner stay healthy.
- Strong feelings.
Many of us feel lonely at home or when traveling. Our sons and daughters are busy with their respective office work, so they can’t give us time. Therefore, we need to have a pet dog at home. Dogs will always make us happy. They will play with us, travel with us, stay with us, and do various things according to our commands.
Some of the dogs we can keep at home are:
- Maltese
- Miniature and Standard Schnauzer
- Soft Coated Wheaten
- Afghan Hound
- American Hairless Terrier
A good friend is found.
A dog can easily be thought of as a good friend. Dogs love to be around people. Dogs can easily understand and like people’s food, movement, speech, etc. So it can be said that dogs are nothing less than people’s friends.
Perfect for entertaining.
Dogs play a very good role in changing people’s mentality, thinking, and behavior. If a person wants to be mentally happy, then they should have a dog. Dogs entertain people through their activities, making people’s minds very lively.
Home security can be assured.
Dogs protect people’s homes, offices, shops, and their owners. Nowadays, people trust dogs more for their safety. A dog is an animal that tries hard to keep its owner safe even at the cost of its life. Many people keep dogs for apartment security.
Protection from different types of wild animals.
People love to travel. They go to new places while traveling. Most people like to travel in natural surroundings. Many animals in the natural environment are dangerous to humans. Dogs can be one of the best ways to protect yourself from them. Moreover, dogs help us escape from the ferocious animals that attack houses.
Travel companion.
A dog as a travel companion can be on your wish list. Dogs love to travel just like humans. There are very few people who don’t travel with dogs. Nowadays, most people in the world prefer dogs as their travel partners.
Animal husbandry and protection.
Many of us keep animals like sheep and goats at home or in a specific place. Dogs work very well to control flocks of sheep. You will find almost all farmers using dogs to control their animals. This type of dog needs to be prepared through training.
Here are some of the best farm dog breeds for herding and protection:
- Australian Shepherd
- Australian Cattle Dog (Heeler)
- Australian Kelpie
- Border Collie
- Catahoula Leopard Dog
- Scotch Collie
- Pembroke Welsh Corgi
- Anatolian Shepherd
- Great Pyrenees
- Maremma Sheepdog
- Bernese Mountain Dog
- Hangin’ Tree Cowdog
- Black Mouth Cur
- Cowboy Corgi
Helps the owner stay healthy.
Dogs love to move around a lot, so they often need to be taken to the park or for a short walk. This is why their owners often take them out for walks. Therefore, their owner also has to walk in the outdoor environment, which gives physical exercise to the owner.
Strong feelings.
A dog’s senses are very keen. They can detect anything very easily with their sense of smell. They can also hear very low-quality sounds with their hearing.
