My pet has leadership qualities

Neha Pandey loves her pet dog that was rescued & gifted to her family by the servant

Well, I can’t say with precision what breed my pet is because it is a gift from the servant who works for us. Our pet was actually living with some people who used to beat him up and did not give him food either, so our servant felt he should rescue him and he asked us if we could keep it. We agreed and happily adopted him. It's a black and white coloured dog and his name is Tommy though my grandmother calls him Tony. He is a hybrid of street dog and Pygmalion. He is very cute and intelligent. He has become an inseparable member of our family in every sense. I can't spend a single day without having some quality time with him. Although I know he can't speak, I still talk to him. I was scared of dogs initially and couldn't bear to come near them, but Tommy made me feel comfortable and brought me closer to all the animals. His activities are really very cute as he stops responding to me if he is mad at me for scolding him. He would just hang his face and look very offended. I can make out at once if he is angry with me. Only when I start patting him lovingly that he relents. He wags his tail when he is happy. It's weird I know, but he loves spicy and sour food more.

He is very intelligent as he goes for his walk all by himself and tells us by barking or cooing when he wants to go out and does the same when he wants to return. He is very attentive and barks and warns us whenever a stranger is there at the gate. Like all other dogs he too abhors sound of crackers. So I take extra care of him during the Diwali festival. He doesn't like loud music either and gets very annoyed by it. He is a lovely pet.  He catches attention of everyone who comes to our house and they say that he has got a lot of attitude. He loves attention too but he has his own sets of choices. He does not get closer to everybody but a few whom he likes. So he is very choosy too. All the street dogs around just follow him and I have seen that by my own eyes so may be he has got leadership qualities too. I know I am talking about him as if he is a human being but, living with him, I have grown so fond of him that I notice the smallest thing about him. I bathe him and keep him essentially clean. He always gives us a hint whenever he is hungry. I have learnt a lot from him. He is a great stress reliever because whenever I am in stress I just talk to him or play with him and my stress is gone. His eagerness and activeness has given me so much motivation to stay active and fit. I have grown to love him and adore him a lot. Now I think of him as my best friend and my family member without whom my family is incomplete. I have experienced so many great and cute moments with him. I pray for his good health daily.
