“My mom named my dog Dodge because he’s a Dachshund. He’s 2 years old. He’s a gift from my sister’s boyfriend. Dodge is really hyper and enjoys hanging out in the garage. We also have an aspin (mongrel) named Jairo, who is a gift from my best friend. For me, pets are really great companions. They cheer me up when I’m feeling depressed and lonely.” Marinel R. Cruz
