I've suffered serious mental and physical bullying since my first day at school, and never had any real long-term friendships with other people... But I have lots of beautiful memories of non-human animals, particularly dogs, that I regularly spent time with. Some even defended me from bullies after school after I ran to them for help. A couple years ago I have finally had the opportunity to adopt my own dog, and he has made a huge difference in my life. I used to literally cry myself to sleep every night due to immense feelings of loneliness, but this has finally come to an end when he came into my life. I can finally hug someone while sleeping and feel loved and appreciated. I have much more strength and motivation to go on with my life. I no longer feel as suicidal as I used to because he has brought so much joy to my life, and I want to be there for him. He is very affectionate, sensitive to how I feel, and intelligent. I still long for some human company as well, but I definitely feel much less lonely now. I can only hope I make him as happy as he has made me.
