Yes,I have a pet and it's the Siberian husky mix which my dad named "Armani". It's a dog breed that is friendly and gentle but tend tend to be very dangerous at times and they also have almost the same characters with wolves. They howl majorly at night which is something that really gets me annoyed.

The animal I feel most attracted to is the parlour dog they are cute and friendly dogs and I also love their white hairs and how they are friendly.
8.What’s the most beautiful relationship you’ve seen between a human and an animal?
The most beautiful relationship I have seen between a human and an animal is the relationship between my dog and my junior brother. They are just like best friends ,he could command him to do anything since he was closer to the dog than me. There was even a day some of our friends in the neighborhood came visiting and that day happens to be the day my dad said we should release the dog and allow it roam freely in our compound..
Immediately the dog sighted them he started barking and was angry since they were strangers to him. My brother noticed this and ordered him to stop barking which he did and after he moved towards him wiggling his tail joyfully and he also lied down.
9.What was your best experience with an animal?
My best experience with an animal was with my dog. It happened that we were given an holiday in school so we had to leave school to our various homes. I got home and decided to go see the dog at the backyard where it was chained to his kennel.
Immediately the dog saw me he began to wiggle his tail , jumped on me and licked my face with his tongue. He was behaving as if he hadn't seen me in years whereas I was just away from home for few months.
