After an assault with a weapon at work leaving me with head injuries and physical pain on every part of my body, I was advised by at least three of my doctors all saying, "Get a dog!" Knowing all the benefits of having a dog would be very beneficial to me, I did. Although, I knew how people say that they love their dog more than anyone, I had no idea how that could be until, time after time, Kokomo saved my life, mentally, emotionally, and physically. I trained her well by myself, but soon started realizing how intelligent she really is. I learned so much from Kokomo and so did Quincy, my son's big dog. He would be bewildered wondering how she tricks him, but started picking up by following her around. Kokomo and I take our time, although it's always her choice, to stop and talk to people; help by making them laugh or understand that you don't have to be afraid of every dog, and teach them how to tell the difference. Her persistent has changed many adults and children to recognize the love of dogs. Although I've always liked animals, feeling the deep love of Kokomo, I truly became an animal lover and learned the true meaning of life. Please feel free to share your pets funny, inspiring and/or loving stories!
