Suffering from a bad headache while reading, I eventually dozed off on the couch. In my semi-conscious state, I felt a gentle weight settle on my lap. It was Max's paw. He seemed to sense my discomfort, padding gently to urge me wake up.
Before Max, I didn’t have pet experience and was wary of their unpredictable nature. Being near any pet made me uneasy. I couldn’t understand why some parents allowed their kids to play with pets alone, or why they seemed so careless about their children's safety.
Now, I've learned firsthand about a pet's caring nature from Max's gentle touch. Pets are caring creatures, and they only become aggressive when they feel threatened.
