When I came to the United States, I left behind two beautiful and beloved children, Escooby and Baby. They were my joy and protection. I say protection because with them I did not feel fear at all. They taught me what it is to love a pet deeply. 

With the passage of time, they died of depression and neglect since I left them in the hands of people who did not have the same feelings as me. Their departure hurt so much that until now I have not been able to get over their death.
