Sharav was not only my best friend, but the best friend I ever had or could have had.
He was really the only consistent thing in my life, too. If anyone had known me pretty well in 2007 and continued to know me pretty well until now, I’m sure they would agree.
I think this might be why I hate the phrase “dog dad” so much. I can understand why people compare having a dog to having a child, but I really do not find them meaningfully similar.
