A Boy and His Dog

Since becoming a mum I have come to the conclusion that although pets can be fun and can teach the kids about responsibility, they are also an extra burden that I personally could do without.  But while going through my photos I came across a photo of my oldest son with his dog.

When my son was about two months old I came across this gorgeous Staffy X pup in a pet shop and could not leave without him.  So we bought him and named him Buddy.  He had a gorgeous personality and right from the start he took to my son.  He would constantly be close by my son and would not let him out of his sight.  Unfortunately he was hit and killed by a car when my son was about two years old and we have not had another pet since.
