Read the passage given below :


(6 Marks)
1. Think about love, care and affection and there are certain faces that start flashing right
in front of our eyes, maybe of our parents, siblings or friends. But have you ever thought about
love and your 'furry friends' together ? If yes, then you are among those fortunate ones who
understand the real love and have experienced it at some point of your life.
2. Pets, especially dogs, are amazing creatures that show unconditional love to us, in case
we have one we experience it on daily basis. They are pure, simple and loving and set an
example for us to have stronger personal relationships in life. They are as loyal as can be. They
help you stand tall in the most difficult times of your life. They will support you when everybody
else opposes you.
3. Generally, our buddy forever' is adopted when he's a puppy of around 5-6 weeks. Since
the day, the new house becomes his own abode. Being close to each and every member of the
family, the 'little one' starts observing the behaviour of each family member. A subtle change in
our demeanour can be noticed by our pets. They start showing their concern with a gentle
nudge of a wet nose or a lick on the hand. The everyday greeting ritual, i.e., the springing dash
to the door is a sign of the strength of the human-canine bond.
4. The bond between a human and its pet works as a stress-buster, and that is the reason
the number of pet owners is on a rise especially in urban areas. Looking a dog into his eyes,
feeding him, the long playful walks with him, bathing him are some of the activities that are
really calming and keep one get going and look forward to reach back to those innocent eyes
waiting anxiously for you after a long hectic day. Dogs are the only species that possess the
human quality of running to its human when he feels unsafe, or is anxious or just happy. Other
than being pets, dogs are trained for larger issues. Dogs provide phenomenal help dealing with
security issues. They don't falter under difficult situations. They also have major role in rescuing
people stuck getting hit by natural calamities. They are a big help to people with health issues.
5. What does a dog tell when waging its tail or looking intently into your eyes? Do you
understand this language of unconditional love? If you nod in affirmation, you are ready to
adopt one and bring joy into your and your loved ones' life.
