I’m making this animation about my childhood dog, Mack, and my current dog, Scout. It’s been a few years now since he passed away from old age. I still miss him so much, but I noticed that even though I still cry for him a lot, a lot of my sadness has been replaced with joy that I got to have him in the first place. He was the best dog to grow up with. I had him my whole life up until he passed. He was older than me. He was friendly, playful, mellow, and overall just amazing. He never did anything naughty, all he did was love. I’m just sad that I didn’t fully repay him for that, I’m sad that I didn’t spend as much time with him as I should’ve. But if dogs really do go to heaven, which I believe they do, then I’ll get to see him again. I bet he’s waiting up there for me and my family. Scout reminds me of Mack in so many different ways. Scout is definitely a little more naughty and a little more shy, but I couldn’t love Scout any more than I do right now. I’m so happy to have a dog that reminds me of Mack. Scout is like Mack but tailored specifically to be perfect for me. Me and Scout have the exact same energy, the exact same anti-social antics when people are over (running away into my room), and I just feel like I always know what Scout is thinking, and Scout always knows what I’m thinking. And he’s so smart, he has already learned so many tricks. He loves nature and adventuring, just like me, but he also loves just chilling with me like Mack did. I still see Mack sometimes. When I’m sitting outside or just walking around, sometimes I’ll see him in the corner of my eye, lying in the sunny grass or trotting along. I just wish I could pet him one more time or play with him again. I wish that I petted him more even when I was tired of him asking me to pet him over and over. He really was the best dog I’ve ever met. He was just always loving and loyal. That’s all I can ever remember of him. No matter what, he’d find a way to cheer me up. <3
