Pets
Growing up in a household that was always graced by the presence of dogs, I've had the privilege of sharing my life with seven amazing canine companions. Unfortunately, since relocating to Australia for my studies, I haven't been able to have pets. Nevertheless, my fondness for dogs, especially the larger breeds, remains close to my heart.
