If you grew up with a dog in your house, you were very lucky. Any kid that has a pet (even cats, gerbils, mice, or reptiles) is lucky!
Having a pet teaches compassion and responsibility. Plus, pets make great companions! Think of all those days when your school friends were off doing things with their families. If you had a pet, you could play with them instead. When you were sick, your dog probably stayed by your bedside until you were back on your feet.
Think about all those dinners where you would hand off those nasty vegetables to your devoted friend sitting under the table! A childhood without pets has got to be a less than exciting life! Well, the six-month-old baby in this video, Lakisa, is hanging out with her German Shepherd friend, named Jacky. These two are already BFFs! Watch them have a blast!
