My friends just bought "Lucky", the dog, two weeks ago. Now, it is three months old. All the family is very excited with this new family member. It's amazing to see how they are attached to it in such a short period. It represents a new way to exchange affection, sweetness. It's part of the family and they feel guilty when they have to leave it alone.... X-------- is the mom and she always had pets during her childhood. A few months ago, they arrived to Montreal (Canada) from France. At the beginning, the integration in the country has been more difficult than expected. Although for [the mom] it was a dream to buy a pet for her family, it seems that Lucky's presence helps them to overcome this new life abroad. Indeed, Y--------, the small boy, was very reserved at school, he didn't talk much, but since Lucky arrived in the family, his teacher told to [his mother] that he started participating in class.
