I dreamed “DuoDuo” last night. He was so happy and healthy in the dream.

“DuoDuo” was a name of a dog that lived with my family for ten years. He died in 2006.

    In remember, there were three dogs in my life. They accompanied me to go through the childhood happily.

    I don’t remember much about my first dog, because I was so young that I didn’t keep the memories. Many stories about him just were told by my parents. The best funny thing was that I shared my food with him.

    My mum told this story just like this: When you were a child, you liked to hold your own bowl to go out to eat in the lunch time. But some days, I found a stranger thing. You ate so fast and much that you went into and out the house many times. Every time you went out with the bowl be filled with food. Then you come back quickly with the empty bowl and asked another one. This aroused my suspicions. One day, I followed you silently to see what happened. I found the dog waited front the door, and then put his mouth into the bowl when you stand beside him. Of course, you ate together.

The dog died in an traffic accident.

   The second dog lived with us named “Come Back”, he was a demi-wolf. I was studying in primary school when he became one part of my family. He often locked outside my room and accompanied me when my parents went out. I knew he liked being stroked and scratching under his neck. Every time things made me unhappily, I would felt better after I told to him. I was sharing many of my secrets to him while I scratching his neck. But he grew faster and faster, his body was bigger and bigger than before. Many of my neighbors were afraid of him. They worried he would hurt them. So my dad sent him to one of his friends who lived in the suburbs. After that, I had never gotten any information about him.

    Many years later, a puppy came into my life. We called him “DuoDuo”. He was a gift from my parents and a good friend in ten years.

The time I was in middle school was anxious, in stability and restless. I was only child in this family, there were many stress of study and school life, I thought my parents didn’t understand me, there was nobody I would tell. “DuoDuo” was the only one he just stared at me when I talked again and again. Just like that he would understand me.

   “DuoDuo” left me when I was in college. He paid for the freedom. Someone hit and killed him when he run out and walked in the street. Nobody knew what happened . Though he was gone, there were a lot of things about him I would keep in my heart forever.

    From then on, we never had any dog again. I still love dogs, and I believe I will have another one in the future. I hope I will give him a stable place to live, and he will die a natural death.
