The Power of Imagination

The first time I felt something for an animal was when I had my dog. I named him Max and was my friend throughout two years. He was like a very good friend of mine during the first 8 months of our relationship, but then we were not as good friends as before. Now, I had other things to do and the poor Max was always in my backyard and I never went to visit him or play with him. He was like in jail and everytime he went out he got crazy and went to destroy garbage bags and to scare little children. Everyone in the condominium were angry with my dog and my parents decided to give him away. The moment I heard this I became really sad and started to regret I did not spent time with him. Finally, my parents gave away Max and I become really sad. This was the first time I became sad because of an animal.
