My favorite animal

This decision is not as difficult as the other assignments, because I’ve known the answer for many years. Everyone has a favorite animal that perfectly fits with one’s personal characteristics and personality, in my case is the dog. I never had a dog in my childhood, but I always liked them.

Three years ago my big brother began rising “pugs” to sell them and he gave one little girl to my mom. The first impression I had was like: “it is not a dog; it don’t even looks like one”. We called it Almendra, and she was very messy. We couldn’t leave anything important at her sight otherwise it disappeared so I hated her.

As she was growing up, she became very close to us, she never wanted to be apart, so Almendra started to do things like jumping into the bed to just lay down next to us, staying close to our clothes when we were out of the house, and being extremely happy when we arrived. Those actions showed me the animal I wanted ever since I knew dogs existed because I am very close to the people I love too. That way this hated dog became the center of our attention.

I don’t know if I want to work helping them specifically, in fact I’d be happy helping any kind of animals, I love them all, that’s why I’m studying to be a vet. The one thing I don’t like is working in a food industry where animals are the food, it would be very difficult for me treat them as object or machines that have to give me something at any cost.

    I agree with you all animals are great, but which would you like to work with?
