My happiest memory was meeting Joggy for the first time; this adorable German Shepherded puppy gave me a lot of happiness and a life-changing experience will cherish forever.

Maybe you think now, what makes meeting a dog so special to that degree? Perhaps this confusion will fade away if you know I wasn’t fond of dogs or cats or any other breeds.

This coupled with a phobia of these cute creatures, can you imagine how I was? Even I can’t believe myself.

From the first sight, when I saw him playing with a ball and making fun movements, I felt my heart melt but at the same time, no, I will not consider that feeling, that’s odd to my nature.

Surprisingly, I couldn’t keep him away from my mind, until I took the decision, I will take him home, but I must admit I had mixed feelings about that.

The first days were tough for me, my schedule revolved around the new member of the family, in addition to that, he was a stubborn dog and there was a mess everywhere.

I reached the point of thinking I should give up and put him up for adoption, but something happened and changed the way I thought completely.

He had a speedy killer illness and survival was impossible if left untreated, above this, he needs to be in his home with his owner who takes very good care of him and loves him.

At this time, I felt so much love for him and I wouldn’t admit myself giving up on him and leaving him to die, I will fight for his survival and I want him in my life.

The healing process was so challenging and very hard for him and me, he wasn’t eating or drinking in addition to severe bleeding.

I started to keep an eye on him for almost 24 hours daily for more than 2 weeks, and of course, I wouldn’t have succeeded with this without the help of my supporter family.

Through this journey, we made a great bond and I felt I became a more loving, caring, and devoting person, the most important thing, my phobia of dogs was treated step by step.

10 years have passed since this memory, and now he is my best companion, my reason for happiness, his cuddles take away all the anger and stress from me.

I learned the true meaning of unconditional love, whatever I became busy and neglected him sometimes for my busy schedule, his love for me never changed.

He always greets me with the same spirit and forgives me even after I fail him.

Because of him, I became nice to all animals and I took successful steps to take care of stray dogs and abandoned ones.

I even succeeded in treating scabies in street dogs on my own, however, I’m not a vet or had a similar experience before with my dog.

Just my love for my dog and consequently other animals was a great motivator behind this.
