Reasons to value and be thankful for being born human? I will start! via /r/gratitude

1. Being there for a pet. Seeing it grow. Living through its tantrums, its naughty, hyperactive phase. Letting it do zoomies without stopping it. Giving it unlimited belly rubs, letting it lick your hand or your face just because it wants to.

1.1— Holding it in your palm when it was a tiny puppy, realising how small and fragile life can be.

1.2— Bathing it for the first time and laughing at its confused, soggy expression.

1.3 —Taking it to the lakeside for the first time, letting it loose to discover the water — watching it realise the beauty of it, and its own superpower to move through it with pure joy.

For the context- My companion is a male Golden Retriever, I adapted it from one of my friends when the Pup was 40 days old.

Edit: I have added a collage of my pups images in the comment.

Thanks.
