Friendship Comes in Many Styles!

By Braralee Khattapan

Who was always your best friend for as long as you can remember?

Who is the best friend you ever had? For me, her name was Samba. I remember that when I was child, my first buddy was a beautiful golden Labrador puppy, Samba. One day after school, when my mom came to pick me up, I got a big surprised from her: a little puppy was sitting in the car. That was the first time I met her. She was so small but full of energy. We immediately became best friends. She followed me everywhere. We played together, slept together, and took a bath together. I remember how happy I was at that moment of my life.

From then on, my mom and Samba came to pick me up from school every day. I just couldn’t wait until the end of the day. I never asked my mom to take me to the park after school (dogs are not allow in the park). I just wanted to go home and play with my best buddy. I can say that we grew up together.

Sadly, every life has an end. Samba passed away when she was 15 years old. She did the best for us, and I know that. I cried like crazy. I thought other dogs could ever replace her.

Really?…

No.

I was sad for a month after she passed away. Then my mom got a new puppy for me, Bubbles.

Bubbles is a little white toy Poodle. He is so small and really cute. He makes me feel better and not think too much about Samba, but I will never forget about her. However, Bubbles became my new best.

That was when we realized that we are true animal lovers. We started to rescues dogs from families who are unable to take care of them. We currently have 6 of them.

I cannot live without the dog beside me. I always think that a dog is man’s best friend. You might have a thousand friends who hang out with you every day, but to a dog: you are the entire world.
