Last week, my friend bought a guinea pig from Pet store. Unfortunately, the guinea pig was sick on the third day, so my frined decided to take it to a vet. I went there with them. We went to a emergency hospital and also we didn't make any appointment with vets, so we had to wait for almost one hour. In the vet hospital, I realized how people love their pets. During that one hour, many people came with their cute patients, dogs, cat and even birds. An old couple were sitting beside us. They brought a beautiful yellow cocker. They told us, their dog was 6 years old. The dog had problems with its eyes, so the host wanted it to do the eye operation. When they told me the cost of the operation. I was shocked. I felt surprised that people could spend a lot of money for their pets. The dog for them is like a family memeber more than an animal. I believed that when people owned a pet, they became more responsible, patient and sympathetic.

Hi Qi,
I understand why you was surprised when the couple tell you the cost to operate their dog. Actually, I used to feel strange too when I first came to Canada, but my feeling started to change afterward. The idea of treat pets as people is totally different from our culture, but it isn't bad if you just think that pets are also lives. They can be our best friends-share our happiness and sadness. They never lie, but we do.
good luck
