I am clear that my dog is not my son. And I get one of my boxes when someone says "Meanwhile, as you still have no child, that your dog is your son" or others such as "Stop treating that dog but it is not." I know that my dog is not my son, I'm not a mother yet, I'm too clear that a mother's feelings are greater, and that mother's love can not be imagined.
Today I have a dog, a dog that I love, but it is a dog. With difference of a son, my dog will never grow mentally, will not leave and much less will take care of me when I'm older. It will not be worth it for itself, it will always want me to be there to feed, drink or just play.
It's not going to grow little by little, let alone say a son's phrases "It's just that you do not understand me", "How boring you are". And much less I am going to listen to important phrases that a son says to his mother, for example: "I love you", "thank you", "I miss you" ... Much less will he judge me, he will not question my decisions, he is going to ask me for the last playstation because all his friends have it.
In my dog I will not see what I have invested in knowledge, education and all the good things that are taught to a son, in a few words he will never give me a legacy. As you have seen my dog has grown too much, it will not be eternally small, I will see him grow old, but he will not see it in me as a son would. I am going to take care of it and it will be my turn to see how it goes on forever, and not because of accidents, that's the way nature is.
My dog is not a person, it is an animal, and much less is my son. But, something that is important to clarify is that I am his mother. Do you have a bit of irony, do not you? Am I or am I not? But I tried to make it clear that he is a son, tell me what do you think a mother is? Because for me a mother is a brave person who sacrifices herself for her children, cares for them, feeds them, is able to give her peace of mind for her family's. A mother is always going to love her son unconditionally, that is why my dog is not my son but I am her mother. It is that I am all that he has, I am the one who gives the orders. I am not his mistress, nor mistress, but I am his family.
There are people who will never know what it is to feel the love of a being that does not speak, does not mature, that can not express itself as you and me, and much less will not be able to have what I have when I see Lucas and what he transmits to me. My dog is not my son, I am his mother, but to tell the truth and it is not to show off thanks to me he has a quiet, healthy life and that with what little he has is happy and does not start to demand. For many people a dog is nothing, but for the dog a human is everything.
