I never had a dog. For years, dogs scare and remind me of childhood days going to the hospital. Thus, I spent most of my life admiring cute dogs from afar- through pictures and social media posts.
Imagine my surprise when i dreamt of dogs. Dead dogs. It wasn't the best dream out there but it made me think of a lot of things such as:
1. If I'll be a dog owner and my dog dies, will I allow myself to allow another dog to be part of my life?
2. If yes, will I choose the same breed of dog ?
3. If I'll allow myself to have another dog, how can I show to my new dog that I'll not compare him/her to my old dog? Can I do that- not comparing dogs and loving them equally?
