With the breaking trends of joint families and children moving out of the families for employment or other reasons, a generation of parents is getting trapped in the clucthes of loneliness. Loneliness, that is scaring them like a monster but then there is no other option available with them to get rid of it. Situation is even worse with the individuals who have lost their spouse.

           After sacrficing many of their little wants and wishes for the sake of the bright careers of their children, now they feel.....is it the solitude that they wished for at the end of the day? It is not so that their children do not love them but situations do not permit them to live together. Family conditions as well as the emotional attachment with the homelands do not make it comfortable for the parents to live together with children along with many other factors or inhibitions they never want to share with outer world.

                 In such scenarios it is wonderful to see the pets playing the role of emotional companions, healing their loneliness. Many people love rearing a pet, generally dog and enjoy its company. It is the selfless understanding and reciprocation of love by the pets that keeps them close to each other.

                   They can be seen enjoying various chores together like going to the vet for vaccination and deworming. For them it is also a kind of the day of celebration when such people see their vet and share the stories of their pet so excitingly as they used to talk about their own kids.

                      It indeed gives pleasure to see a speechless animal playing such an important role in the life of elderly people.
