For those who had a pet....

As I remember when I saw my pet for the first time he was a little ball of fur
At that  time I was young too, I guess he would concur
He came to our home on a winter morning, it was foggy
I remember vividly his coat was black, but a bit smoggy
he had come away from his family, he had come away from his mother
I was too childish to understand that, I was happy that I had someone to call as younger brother
first few days were silent, then we slowly knew one another
as the days passed by we grew closer even further
even though he didn't speak, neither could he understand me
I would talk to him everyday and treat him as a part of the family
after some months, a trainer stepped into his life
he was supposed to be trained as if he was meant to balance a knife
I loved the way he was and didn't want him to change
I did not want him to become uptight and act all strange
well I guess my bro was reading my mind as he gave the trainer a bite
the trainer terminated his contract and left the same night
we enjoyed each other's company for the upcoming years
I learnt a lot from him, especially how to face fears
nowadays he is not with me, he is in a better place
but I still remember the moments clearly and recall his face
I don't know if he felt for me, the way I did for him
now I guess he was my elder brother and I was younger to him
