I started out more as a cat lover and indifferent to dogs. But I have done a total change around. Whenever I had complained about relationships or friendship or even loyalty in a work situation. I would hear people say, 'If you want unconditional love - get a dog" "If you want a true friend who will stand beside you no matter what - get a dog" - "If you want loyalty - get a dog" --- I finally took them up on that advice and they were right.
