Generally speaking, most people choose to raise a puppy or a younger dog to go home. After all, they are more cute and can accompany their owners for a longer time. But in fact, raising an elderly dog is actually a good choice. The owner and his wife Jacky and Crystal adopted a 9-year-old Chihuahua , but unexpectedly, this move also taught their children to empathize and even decided to be a veterinarian.
these two owners adopted a local dog 7 years ago and named it Xiaoxiao. And soon after, they also welcomed their first son. With a small company, my son learned to get along well with his dogs, and would follow his parents to visit the dog exhibition from time to time. After that, the owner wanted to raise another docile puppy, but fell into confusion, not knowing whether to raise a puppy or an elderly dog. Finally, after introduction from the Animal Protection Association, they adopted a 9-year-old Chihuahua named Xiao Ding.
Before taking the Chihuahua home, it actually had only one tooth in its mouth and a slight misalignment of the knee joints, which needed careful care from the owner. After the whole family knew about it, they also wanted to adopt it without hesitation. Crystal said Chihuahuas are old and it is difficult to find their owners, so they want to make their dogs happy to spend their last time. Not only did the son not dislike Chihuahua, he also took responsibility and took the initiative to take care of the dog. It is the time when getting along with Chihuahua that allows the son to learn to cherish the time he spent with it and also develops a strong sense of empathy.
2 years ago, an 11-year-old Chihuahua suddenly suffered from pancreatic cancer. Because her condition continued to worsen, even if she had surgery, she might not be able to recover. The sudden bad news made the whole family at a loss, but fortunately, the dog ended up being safe and sound. When his son saw the big scar left by Chihuahua's surgery, he deeply felt the pain of parting and the limitation of his life, and even started crying on the spot. It was this incident that made him aspire to become a veterinarian and rescue more injured animals.
Nowadays, Chihuahua is 13 years old, and since it survived that serious illness, it has become more attached to its family. Although her physical condition is declining, Chihuahua is having a happy day, either with her owner for a walk or playing games with her son. However, no matter which type it is, the relationship between a person and a dog cannot be measured by time. Are you more willing to raise a puppy or an elderly dog?
