We live with a companion animal, a poodle named “Champ.”

We brought him home as a little puppy in 2013 after my daughter took her college entrance exam.

My wife was very upset at first because the puppy wasn’t housebroken and would relieve himself anywhere in the house.

But now she has grown very attached to Champ and does all the chores needed to raise him.

My daughter, on the other hand, only occasionally dotes on the pup when she gets home.

I had a traumatic experience related to dogs when I was young,

I witnessed our family dog accidentally eat rat poison and pass away, which left a lasting impression on me.

He suffers from a heart condition, so he needs regular visits to the vet.
