my dog came to life

was walking around in Orchard a couple of days ago when i saw this event held in front of Taka by the SPCA. so me being a dog-lover wouldnt miss a chance of looking at all the dogs they have there. it was the highlight of my day when i saw a really beautiful golden retriever and a husky sitting side-by-side. That's like my ultimate dream come true as they're both my favourites.

so after a while, i got bored with all the spca ppl trying to preach about abandoned pets and all and decided to walk away. and that's when i saw him (well, could be her too, i didnt check)




the resemblance was just too striking. the size, colour, height and tail. and to note that my dog was not 
a pure breed of any kind. i felt as though my dog came to life and there he was,
standing in front of me, waiting to be hugged. and i got pretty emotional when it struck me how much i missed him. and no matter what, i'll never be able to get him back. i cursed the neighbour again.

anyway, this is a picture of my late dog:



well, they might be really similar physically but i'll never forget the way he used to look at me, with that innocent expression on his face and of course the bond we shared.

(forgive me for this cheesy post, i'm feeling all emotional again)

hey! 15-20 cats and dogs are put down at SPCA everyday!
do you know how many ppl practice backyard breeding and contribute to the unwanted animals (both abandoned and stray) being put down each day?
think of the poor things, once with a home, then dying alone in confusion with a needle =(
