People preferred petting dogs because they are very loyal and sweet. They could even risk their lives just to protect their masters. In a previous article, there was a female dog who died protecting her owner’s baby from a snake attack.

Earlier this year, a Labrador dog named Lila also went viral after he helped his owner collect trash from the ocean. Her owner said Lila started diving for lobsters until he trained her to collect rubbish from the sea.

“Harvey just wants to come home and I’m desperate to make that happen. I just want my son back…  he needs people his own age – he needs his family around him. Knowing that he might not be able to come home is having a negative effect on his mental health.”

“He’s a mummy’s boy, he’s more like a 14-year-old at heart and he just wants to come home,” she added.
