My name is Yahya Asni and I am a twenty-three-year-old international student residing in the Netherlands who can best describe himself as outgoing, independent, and determined. However, this wasn’t always the case. When I was eleven years old, I was diagnosed with severe OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). I could use many adjectives to describe myself at the time, but they would not include the ones that I have just listed. This article is about my journey overcoming OCD, who I have become, and why I chose to do an internship at Bookingpetz.com.

A pet is much more than an animal that shares your home. It’s a companion. It’s a friend. It can even be a hero. And pets have been known to save lives. The following article recounts the eye-opening stories of three pets that provided their owners with the right kind of support–or the help that they needed in desperate times. Their touching stories show how these pets were more than just loyal friends and companions–they were heroes. The stories were reported on the news for all pet-lovers to read. Together they show nothing if not the true nature and loyalty of pets.
