This is a special post that I will only write about my hero pet named "Symmet" (comes from Symmetry)
He is a german sheperd dog..we bought him when he was 5 months old (about 10 years before we bought symmar) I was very young at that time...He is s super friendly dog..Everyone is afraid of him because he was very big...But for his ownner like my family..we only see hiss kindness and his loyalty that he showed to us...When I was very young I an running very fast so did symmet..and we accidently run in each other 555 I fell down and symmet licked my face. I was very scared. I cryed and my mom help me up..I got angry with symmet. I know this sound weird but at that time I am just a little girl. but not very long.. He come to me and licked my face again. I can still remember everything about him at that time had an expression that mean "sorry" Me and symmet were like sister and brothers...My mom told me a story about him that make me feel like he is a hero. My family had another dog named "Happy" he is very cute dog but he was even older than symmet. Happy like to run away. But he always come back. just like having a trip.But in Thailand when your dog run away it is very dangerous. because we have many street dog and some people let their dog live out side the house withot any fences. And one day my fear became true while Happy was running away there was a dog bigger younger and stronger ran to him and bite him.I can still remember that it was a very scary dog fight.....Only thing I keep thinking is .."Happy can't figh that dog..he is going to die" My mom know this too ..My maid try to help seperating them but nothing work. so I just standing st the front door crying...Then a miracle happened..Symmet run to that dog and bite that dog that is hurting Happy...Of course symmet is bigger and stronger. Another thig that surprised me is..Symmet didn't kill that dog...After that dog can't fight anymore Symmet run back into the house..After my mom told me this I remembered all things...If Symmet was't there I would lose Happy......
When I first bought Symmar ( I gave her this name because it sound fimilar to Symmet) she was too young to be sold...She was only 1 month and 10 days....when she first see Symmet she thought Symmet is her mom so she run after him (even though he is a male dog)
Symmet I know that you are very old and you have passed away now..I understand that it might be better for you if you go...You dont need to suffer anymore....When I think of you comparing you to many people I have known....even most human can't be compared to you...Thank you for everything you have done for all of us.....I only wish you have a enternal peace from now on....Goodbye Symmet..My "hero"
Gam, I had a dog named Quay that was a German Shepard mix, and like Symmet, people were always afraid of her, even though she had a very gentle heart and would never hurt anyone. I remember one time, she caught some baby rabbits. She carried them to me in her mouth, one-by-one, and didn't hurt them at all.
ReplyDeleteShe died just before I came to Thailand. I was carrying her to the car to take her to the vet & she died in my arms. I cried for hours. I was very sad, so I understand your feelings. She was my best friend for 11 years. Did you know that I still have her collar & leash? People who don't own dogs might think that is strange, but I know you will understand me. A dog is a true friend.
Your story reminded me of my dog. I'm sorry for your loss, but remember the happy times you shared with your friend. Symmet will always be in your heart.
