      I have a dog named Jessie, she’s a rescue german shepherd mix and I’m pretty sure she owns me more than I own her!

      The first part of my childhood I was in a joint family- with uncles, aunts, and cousins, and grandparents living in the same big house as my parents and me. In that big family we used to have a dog called Lindsy. She was a samoyed. Before every exam I used to make sure that she is the last person I really spoke to (it was a kind of superstition). If she was happy and wagged her tail then I interpreted it as her telling me that my exam would go well and I went to write the exam happily. When she would get angry I interpreted it as a sign that my exam would go bad. There was no sign. I was a kid and my love for Lindsy made me imagine things that were not. She died a few years ago, in 2015, at the age of 15.
      In the mean time, while I was still in India, I had rescued a few stray cats with my dad and had nursed them to health and then they adopted us.
      Right now I don’t have the right resources or time I need to give any animal I adopt, so I spend time with one of my neighbour’s dogs; I have named them Dog-ter and Dog-las (pun on ‘Docter’, and ‘Douglas’); they are Jack Russell terriers.

      I have a hedgehog who lives in my garden. He’s called Russell (because he’s very difficult to spot, but you can hear him rustling in the leaves and hedges!) and unfortunately he is disabled, because he only has one eye. We took him in as a rescue and he repays the favour by eating all of our slugs and keeping our plants nice and healthy. He’s currently hibernating. Here’s a picture of him curled up in a ball when we first got him:
