My Pet Story: Animals have unique personalities, just like humans do

After years of having canine pet friends and observing their behaviour and characteristics, their personalities seem to strike you, and it is amazing that they too seem to have individual traits like we humans do.

My two pets dogs are Dusky and Brenda. Dusky is a dog of mixed breed, Alsatian and Labrador. As such, he is big-sized, almost like a wolf in appearance. He is rather handsome and stately, his pitch black fur now has taken on a beautiful dark brown auburn colour, with age.
