In October 2020, my daughter Simran, aged 20, presented a 16-slide deck on "why our family needs a dog."
The deck covered everything from "needing something to love other than Netflix" to how a dog would make us all walk and get healthy, as I was "looking more like Homer Simpson than Homer Simpson."
I was told that I was the last obstacle (her actual words) and I argued that I didn't want a dog as it would become my dog, and I had already parented enough with her and her brother Kieran.
I was overruled and awaited my fate.
Two months later, just before Christmas, Milo arrived, and from the moment we met I knew I was in trouble. He somehow knew I was the weak link, so he made me his human. We should have named him Shadow, as that's what he became to me.
A year later he started acting strangely around me, barking, softly clawing and licking my belly in a comforting way.
That was the moment the dog I didn't think I wanted ended up saving my life . . .
