Do you have an interesting story about your living pet that you would like to share with readers? We’d love to hear from you. Tell us in 600-900 words, with 3-4 photos (in JPEG format, file size about 1MB, captioned). There is no payment for stories, and we reserve the right to edit all submissions. Send your story to: lifestyle@thestar.com.my with the subject "My Pet Story".

It's a story heard over and over again: “He chose me.” Then follows a gushing account about how the cute tiny puppy clumsily stumbled its way to its future mummy or daddy, immediately wanted to play a game, or fell asleep in their lap. So, so heart-warming, such fateful encounters.
