As you can see in my illustration, I chose to draw a dog. Why? Because a dog embodies
the qualities of courage, kindness, patience, and, most importantly, a devoted friend, all of
which I possess. When it comes to defending and fighting, as well as keeping watch over and
protecting their owners' homes and property, dogs are exceptionally brave and fearless.
Meanwhile, when facing challenges and difficulties in life, like dogs, I inevitably rise and refuse
to let fear paralyze me by being brave and resilient, and as a result, I always overcome these
things. Aside from that, I aspire to be fearless when it comes to seizing opportunities and taking
risks in life, particularly when the rewards are significant. Dogs also possess kindness when it
comes to interacting with their owner. This usually happens when a dog wants the attention of
its owner by making sounds and doing puppy faces, which I also possess because when it
comes to interacting with others I show my kindness by offering my assistance to others, enjoy
listening to other people's problems and concerns, as well as giving them advice on how to
overcome them and relief them as comfortably as possible. As well as, being amiable,
respectful, and soothing to be around. There is no need to act and behave hastily, harshly, or
violently. Furthremore, I possess patience and gentleness, when it comes to dealing with some
situations involving us to wait without getting upset. For an instance, I am waiting for my friend
to arrive at our meeting place and somehow he is late by almost ten minutes. Finally, dogs are
"Man's devoted buddies”, which I also possess, especially when it comes to supporting my best
friends, being trustworthy with the secrets shared, and being reliable in times of difficulties
