I'm 24 year old master student.I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and having pets of my own has brought so much joy and comfort into my life. For seven years, I had a loyal and gentle dog who was more than just a pet—he was my companion, always there with unconditional love and a wagging tail. Five years ago, I also welcomed a sweet and curious cat into my home. Though more independent, he had his own special way of showing affection. Watching them grow and bond with me was something truly special. I always took great care of them—feeding them well, keeping them healthy, spending time playing, and making sure they felt safe and loved every single day. They were a big part of my life and my heart. After immigrating, one of the hardest parts was being away from them. I miss their presence deeply and would love nothing more than to be near animals again.
