Some
thirty something years ago, a child was born and she was named by her
parents after Barry Manilow’s dog (beagle) on the thought that it was
actually Barry’s child name. Her parents might be a psychic because she
grew up a dog lover. Fast forward to future, she used an Asong Pinoy as a
profile picture in Facebook and got mocked (wonders if she
will
get the same reaction if she used an “imported dog’s" picture), but did
these things made her less of a person? Definitely not,she is very much
secured with her being. Dogs (particularly Aspin’s) have always been
in her system from the moment that her parents named her. She learned
in life that sometimes, people will look down on you based on
association (things that you like), skin color,socio-economic status,
gender and even your civil status among others, but dogs never will.
Her dogs taught her that though some things can never last. What’s
important is the moment spent together and the memories that will
forever last in your heart. To live the moment because life is short and
should not be wasted with negativity. And that you can love and be
loved unconditionally. That being single doesn’t necessarily mean that
you are alone. People may come and go but if they have it their way,
dogs would love to stay with you forever. Reality check, only mothers and dog can love your imperfections.
