For more than half my lifetime so far, I've had this great friend whom always never failed to come to the door, whipping its tail to welcome me when I visited my great aunt's house.
When he first came, I was overwhelmed by his size. When I sat down, and he sat up, he is much taller than I was, so I never sit down beside him so that I'm taller.
When I was still a puny boy, and when he was still a puppy, though no one could tell given his big size, I liked to bully him by chasing him around the house in a bicycle. Not once did he lose his temper against me, yet everytime he will come back to me wagging its tail whenever I am eating as he's such a glutton.
He especially hates stormy days, as for some reasons, he's very afraid of thunder and water. Every stormy day, he will like to hide under a table and shiver in fear.
I used to like taking him along to 7-eleven, without a lash. It's a lot of fun when I see people acting a bit scared of me. Though I know that he will just follow me wherever I go, and wait for me outside the stall when I told him to. I didn't know how he understands me, since he had never undergone any training. The previous dog my great aunt had, went missing after going out alone..
After my great aunt shifted house, he will walk me to the mrt station whenever I'm going out for meetings from there. I was quite afraid he will go into the station with me, but lucky for me, he will just walk back after seeing me go down the escalator.
Even though he's not the most cutest, handsome, cuddly of dogs I've seen, he's probably the one that is most worthy of a place in my heart.
