Hi buddy :-)
I know how you feel.
When I was a teenager, I only had two friends. One of my friends was my Siberian husky, Blaze. It's funny isn't it, people can sometimes look on with mild indifference towards the bond between animal and man and yet, dogs possess the qualities humans classify as idealistic.
Between boxing and school, I never had the chance to mingle and be a teenager. Blaze was probably my deepest social interaction until I was 18.
When he passed away I learned that whilst he was irreplaceable, most dogs seem to carry his traits.
Chin up Wadey, a companion is never far away
