“The Six Golden Questions”:

What does your pet like?
He likes his walks and rides in the truck or car. He spends a lot of time with me in the truck.

– What does your pet not like?

Loud noises, like fireworks.

– Favourite toy?

My boots! He has always something in his mouth, like socks. He`s got a lot of toys, but he likes a furry fox toy.

– Favourite food?

Kibbles and bits. He also likes chicken and he likes his treats.

– What have you learned since you have had your pet?

A pet is a big responsibility. You have to be prepared to spend a lot of time with your pet. But pets give you so much back. They are good companions.

Do you have any advice for other pet owners?

Accept pets as part of your family. And you have to remember that pets grow up, too. Some people get a puppy for their kids. Sometimes kids might not be prepared for the responsibility, so the parents have to do it. The parents have to teach their children what to do.
