Feeling sad
Ever since he was young, it’s been Eric’s dream to be the proud owner of a loyal man’s-best-friend. This dream of taking care of a dog often left him feeling down. Whenever Eric came across dog owners with their furry friends in the park, he felt a wave of sadness come over him. He even found himself at the pet store from time to time, but always decided to walk away empty-handed.
To help lessen that feeling of sorrow, Eric spent a lot of time in the animal shelter. Here he could be surrounded by the loving animals and even feel like he had his own dog for a while. It helped him get over the feeling of wanting his own dog when he was there, but the minute he sat down on the couch at home, the feeling came back. What could he do to be happy even though he’d never be able to have his own dog because of his work?
