Break Free From Loneliness: Adopt A Dog

Adopting a dog has multiple benefits. Many experts recommend it for old age, against depression, anxiety and, above all, against loneliness. It is true that when someone is lost, either through death or the end of a love relationship, an animal cannot replace that person.

However, what he can do is fill the emptiness of our loneliness and offer us love. It is a different love from what the other person gave us, but it is still a very sincere love, which will make us feel happy.

Maybe there are those who feel alone without any need to have lost someone. In these cases, adopting an animal can be a great idea. Let’s see how the life of a person with or without a dog differs.

Thank you for ending my loneliness

Since I was alone, this house has grown so big that the last thing I wanted was to go home after work. However, being outside didn’t make me feel any less alone. Go for a walk alone, go shopping alone and have a coffee alone. What is the difference between being alone at home or outside?

For me not very honest, although being out of the house has helped me to meet new people. One day, while having a coffee, someone gave me a flyer that said: are you feeling lonely? Adopt a dog and defeat loneliness!

I started to think about how lonely I felt and in that moment I decided that a puppy was what was right for me. I thought: why not?

In fact, I had never had or thought of having an animal. But it was clear that I needed to change my life. And that change was you.

The flyer said to go to a kennel which was not far from where I lived. And almost without realizing it, I found myself there. Honestly, it wasn’t difficult to decide, I saw you immediately and I knew it would be you who would accompany me home. You were a little furball, but your way of getting close to me made me fall in love.

I don’t know what loneliness is anymore

Since you came to my house, you have become my ideal companion, my faithful friend, my living stuffed animal, someone to talk to and play with. My walks were no longer solitary, we could go together for coffee or shopping.

I didn’t know what it meant to have an animal, but I knew what loneliness was. It was something that now, thanks to you, I have only a vague memory.

Opening the door every day and seeing you there, waiting for me, without giving weight to the fact that before I left we discussed why you destroyed my shoes, it’s a great emotion…. You always forget everything and you always make me feel good. Thanks to you, I no longer know what it means to sleep alone, watch TV alone or have the whole sofa to myself.

Call me stupid but, sometimes, even if I am uncomfortable in the armchair because you have taken up most of the space, I don’t want to move so as not to wake you up. I don’t mind doing this, the only thing I know is that I would do anything not to feel that bitter loneliness I felt before you came into my life.

Your life will change if you adopt

Your life will change if you decide to adopt a dog, exactly as this letter expresses about the feelings you get when you adopt a pet for the first time.

It is true that this implies a certain degree of responsibility, as we must never forget that a dog depends entirely on us. However, the joy he will restore to you will be much more than the sacrifices that must be made for him.

Don’t think about it anymore and adopt an animal because it doesn’t matter if you feel alone or not, your life will improve. If you have a partner, it will make your life better. In case you have children, know that an animal will teach them very useful lessons in life. If there are older people in the house, a dog will help them feel useful and finally, if you are feeling alone, know that you will never feel this feeling anymore, in fact, you will even forget what it is.
