Still yearning...

I am not an animal lover even I know how cute most of animals are. However, I am not a mean person to hurt/hit animals neither.

I used to have a dog when I was a senior high school student and his name was Bing-Bing.

I remembered that we had a family meeting to decide whether to have a pet dog or not that year. Well…actually, as long as my mum decided, there was no much room for my dad and I to fight for anything. Therefore, we had Bing-Bing finally.

He was a very cute, tiny and pure white Maltese. I knew that I loved him at the first sight but just didn’t want to admit it. I have been afraid of dogs, especially big ones for years and to be honest, I was a bit frightened by this small white Maltese somehow. Therefore, I told my mum that wherever he would be, I would be out of the sight. Even so, he was the most beloved family member from the moment he walked into my house. I began to check where he was, to tease him, to play with him and so on. Moreover, I even fought with my mum to have him to sleep in my room after I knew him for 3 months. To me, he was not only a pet but a truly really family member.

I took him around the city I lived and I took him to meet up with friends at beaches or anywhere I went. I thought that we would be together for good. BUT…

Bing-Bing was lost in May, 1997, when I was a sophomore student at university. My mum didn’t dare to tell me this sad news on the day he lost until I called home 2 or 3 days later, my dad told me what had happened. I could not believe it and I thought it was another joke from my dad. BUT….IT WAS TRUE. I could hold my tears anymore and I decided to go home immediately no matter what.

My returning home didn’t make any difference and Bing-Bing was still missing. We tried all the possible ways to look for him and double checked anywhere he could run to…but all these were in vein. Bing-Bing was gone and never returned.

Nearly 10 years by now, Bing-Bing is still in my heart and he will always be. All the Maltese I see would remind me of Bing-Bing and all the good time I had with him. There are a lot of people, place, and events that you would just never forget. No matter where Bing-Bing is now, I hope that he is having his great time. And I am still yearning him so much.
