Meet Gara - Spirited and Caring

Hello everyone! I never knew this community existed otherwise I would've posted here a while ago. 😅 Regardless, we here, and I want to share with you all a story about my history with dogs as well as my current sunrise and sunset - Gara.

Gara is a one-year-old female pinch that has completely changed my life and outlook on animals and pets in general. This little girl has taken me into her grasp and made me her thrall. 😭 Not complaining in the slightest. Rather, I'm humbled and grateful to have this connection now, knowing where I come from.

When I was a little boy I was afraid of dogs. Afraid is putting it mildly. 😅 My fear bordered on phobia levels of fright. I remember I would cross the street to avoid approaching dogs or running the moment one looked at me. My childhood was filled with dog barks and my nightmares were no different.

As I got older my fear subsided a little. But never fully disappeared til a friend of mine forced me to stand next to a harmless puppy. Harmless to most. This little tyke was like Goliath. And I was? You guessed it - David. And David slays Goliath! Or in this case, stands next to him for ten seconds in order to score some free ice cream. 😁

After that day my fear gradually subsided with each passing incident. When I graduated from high school I was no longer afraid of dogs. And by the time I graduated from university I actually... liked.... dogs... 😱

What drew me to them was their candid innocence. Their unconditional love supersedes any unimportant human abstraction. I am a person that despises duplicity, so once I broke my fear I was naturally drawn to the little rascals. Nowadays, I pet every dog I can. I have become so natural around them that I cannot imagine thinking of them being the devil incarnate as I once did. 😂 I am so glad to have moved past that silly fear. For now, I can experience the love that is pure and beautiful.

But enough of that, let's get back to this attention seeker, shall we? 😀 Gara was a gift from a dear friend who one day got blessed with 5 dogo pups. Gara's mother was a temperamental dog that I'd known for a long time, and I felt like the time was right for a new chapter in my life. So the person that couldn't stand to look at dogs was now the proud owner of one.

Let me tell you what makes this dog so great. She can understand you better than you. She comes to comfort you when you don't know you need it. She leaves you alone when you wanna be left alone. She demands walks when you're lonely, and she sleeps next to you when you doze off. In other words, she's perfection incarnate. 💯

She also hates cats. And cats hate her. It's a relationship none wish to alter any time soon. And if anyone is going to change their stance, it is Gara. Since she always runs away squealing from scratches. She has now learned that cats are not to be fed with*, and has slowed down her 'run at any cat you see until you're tired' routine. 🙌

Gara loves exploring. Her curiosity always brings a smile to my face, and her lively nature gives me energy. I never knew how much energy I could have til I got this dog. 😁

She is the most precious thing in my life. I adore her so much that It scares me. Family members, friends, and girls, all get jealous of this dog. And with good reason. I mean just look at her! She's adorable!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my little dogo article! I hope you are also blessed with a loving pet relationship! And if you aren't, why not give it a try? If you are ready and able of course. Who knows, it might just change the trajectory of your life. ❤️

Obligatory shout-out to the 🍕PIZZA🍕 gang, 🤙 gang. 🤙

I hope you are having a fantastic weekend! 🙌
