My Pet Story: Salute to Bodhi

My beloved dog Bodhi was very special to the family as he showed unconditional love, trust, loyalty and dedication to his owner. And he was a responsible security guard, too.

Bodhi was adopted from the SPCA 14 years ago. I guess we might have met in our previous life as he quickly came to me, wagged his tail and showed keenness to be with me and my husband. We took him home and our bond began.

When young, he loved to bite socks and shoes, and dig up the garden. Whenever we opened the gate, he would charge out and run down to the golf course. Footloose. And we had to round him up, and his companion Yoga, and bring them back home.
