A friend of mine just “adopted” a lovely puppy and it turned out to be a whole new “life experience” to him. He started to tidy the house regularly (to provide a clean living environment for the lucky puppy), first ever in the last 10 years …
He exercises now more then before as he needs to walk the dog two times a day. He also spends hundreds of dollars every month for the dog food, health check (for the dog, of course), and electric bill (yes, his home is now a 24×7 air-conditioned) … He even planned to hire a helper to play with the puppy when he’s at work.
Lesson Learnt: Man is dog’s best friend.
