Pets are not just animals that live with us; they become members of the family, with their own personality, habits, routines, and even their own favorite chair. In our house in San Juan, we have lived with dogs, cats, birds, and even a small turtle over the years, and each animal has taught us something different about love, responsibility, patience, and the simple joy of living in the present moment. Our current dog is Luna, a four-year-old mixed-breed dog with brown fur, white paws, and the most expressive eyes I have ever seen. We adopted her from a shelter when she was only three months old. She was tiny, scared, and hiding in the corner of her cage. My sister Ana picked her up, Luna licked her face, and in that second, we knew she was coming home with us.
