“I collect everything related to my dog”

There are people who collect things, one way or another connected with the dog. For example, images of dogs of a certain breed, things belonging to a pet, sockets and cups … Everything that is somehow related to a four-legged friend. Why do owners collect everything related to their dogs?

There are several reasons for collecting dog related items. Let’s take a look at them.

First, collecting items related to a dog allows you to strengthen the emotional connection with it. We tend to collect what is interesting for us, attractive, what causes admiration. And what delights us more than a beloved pet? There probably aren’t too many of those. The collection of items related to the dog pleases us and gives us peace of mind.

Secondly, collecting allows us to learn new things about dogs. As we find the next items for the collection, we will learn more about the breed, dogs in general and about the events associated with this or that thing.

In addition, the very process of searching for new specimens for collection and gathering evokes emotions that allow you to feel the fullness of life.

Also, the possession of a collection sometimes becomes a reason for pride and a way to gain recognition among like-minded people.

Collecting can become a means of self-identification and self-expression. The collection allows others to get to know you better, your tastes and worldview.

Possession of things related to a loved one gives a feeling of confidence and calmness, control.

A collection of items associated with a pet and pleasant events allows us to relive these events in memory, and therefore relive them (and the pleasant emotions associated with them).

And there is another reason. It’s hard for all of us to think about it, but, alas, the age of dogs is not as long as we would like. And pets are not always with us. But letting go of the past irrevocably and finally is too painful. And the collection of things related to your pet allows you to keep in touch with him for an arbitrarily long time. Collection items help to keep in touch with departed dogs and overcome anxiety and longing for them.
