| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. Yesterday my family and some |
| 0:17.2 | friends of ours went to a most wonderful event. It was called the Pet Expo |
| 0:22.1 | and they have it here in Southern California every year. |
| 0:26.3 | They have hundreds and hundreds of dogs and cats and other animals up for adoption, and you can |
| 0:31.4 | leave the place with one of them to take home with you. |
| 0:34.0 | Of course my kids would love to take one home with them, |
| 0:37.0 | but right now our house was pretty full with pets. |
| 0:40.0 | About 17 years ago, I had a most wonderful event happened to me. |
| 0:44.6 | I had gone down to the local pet store and in the cage was his most beautiful |

| 1:11.4 | at work he would be with me with my patients and he would help |
| 1:15.2 | them if they were feeling sad, feel better. |
| 1:18.6 | He had a real sensitivity to people and their emotions and could pick up on it and would go up to them and kiss |
| 1:24.9 | them or rub up against them if they were feeling sad. |
| 1:28.8 | He was a great companion and he did a lot of hiking and backpacking with me and really for that 15 and a half years he was |
| 1:36.1 | with me almost every single day except for a few times when I went on vacation and I'd have someone |
| 1:41.6 | watch him. If you're a pet or a people lover, you know |
| 1:45.9 | how attached we can become to someone that we spend a whole lot of time with, whether it's |
| 1:50.2 | our kids, whether it's our spouse, or whether it's our pet, we can become very attached to |
| 1:56.2 | them because we love them and they are incredibly loving towards us. |
