Nowadays, more and more people choose to keep a dog to accompany them. Dogs are very humane. They can understand people’s instructions and can accompany each other and live together. Therefore, it is easiest for people to develop feelings for dogs.

On January 5, media reported that a 13-year-old boy in Fuyang, Anhui Province ran away from home because his mother did not allow him to keep a stray dog.

According to the child's father, a few days ago, a small stray dog ​​was picked up at home. After feeding it for a few days, the child became very attached to the dog and was very affectionate. He planned to keep the dog at home to feed it. However, his mother believed that the stray dog ​​might have bacteria that would be transmitted to the child and did not agree to continue feeding the stray dog. The two had a conflict. The child ran away from home on his bicycle at around 5 a.m. on January 4 with the stray dog ​​on his back. He has not been found yet.

I think the boy should leave the stray dogs at home to feed them. We have reason to believe that the boy is kind and caring. It is a blessing for parents to have such kind-hearted children. Parents should be proud of them. How can they interfere like this? If this were applied to many other families, most of them would definitely support their children's thoughts and actions. After all, this is a positive thing. ....................................................................................................

Maybe, what this boy needs is companionship. It is normal to feed this little stray dog ​​for a few days and develop feelings for it. Because parents are busy with work and lack the company of their children, dogs have become his emotional sustenance. But this is not a bad thing. Apart from spending some money to feed it, at least the child will not be too lonely at home. .................................................................................................................

I believe that the child’s mother also has a good intention. She does not agree to keep the dog at home to feed her out of consideration for the child’s health. But the child is already 13 years old. Let’s not say whether he is rebellious or not. At least he has his own ideas. Parents should respect their children. Stubbornly trying to stop them will only push their children to extremes. Sometimes, we still have to respect our children's choices, even if we don't like them. .....................

The child chose to run away from home because his parents did not allow him to keep a dog. It is not good to run away from home, but since he is caring, he just did it in the wrong way. Therefore, I hope that when the little boy is found, the parents can communicate well, and the stray dog ​​can be kept if it is properly checked and vaccinated.
