Probably, in any family children sooner or laterstart asking to get a pet at home. A cat, a dog. At worst, a hamster. Little Mia was no exception. “As soon as Mia learned to talk, she immediately started asking for a puppy,” says Anna, the girl’s mother. The parents did not dare to get a pet right away. But when Mia turned four, her mother gave in: they went to an animal shelter with the whole family. There, the girl saw a four-month-old puppy that had been picked up sick and exhausted on the street. “That’s her,” Mia confidently pointed to the nondescript dog. The girl simply ignored her parents’ timid objections. This is how the “youngest child” appeared in the family – Lucy. Of course, the mother had more troubles: she had to explain to her daughter that she can’t take the dog to school with her, and she shouldn’t feed it from the table directly from her plate either. And Lucy had to understand that the carpet in the room was not there to pee on, and a leash is not food. “It’s good that street dogs have stomachs of steel. Lucy managed to steal chocolate buns from a street stall, swallow batteries from the TV remote, gobble up a dead bird on a walk - and that’s just in one day,” laughs Anna. But now Mia has a best friend. Lucy is always next to her: in the bathroom, on walks, they sleep and play together. Maybe she understands that it is thanks to Mia that she now has a loving family? “When we play hide and seek, Lucy never tells us where Mia is hiding. And when my dad and I are hiding, Lucy immediately gives us away!” Mom complains jokingly.
