I did not have a plan to raise a pet. But three years ago, one of my best friends called me and asked me to take care of her brother’s dog because her family was going to move to England, and they could not take it. I was hesitant, but when I saw Archie, I fell in love with it. It is a male beagle. It was only one year old back then. It has three colors: white, black and light brown. It looked at me, and its eyes were so big and round and shiny. I held it in my arms and I knew I could not refuse it. I talk to Archie all the time now. When I feel sad, it would lick my fingers and lay its head on my lap. It is my lap. It is my true best friend.
