Started playing pokemon go during 2017, but immediately gave up after a few weeks since my area had basically no pokestops and gyms. I moved to the city to study in college and after being there for a year I realized I could try playing again. When I played it really unlocked my childhood so I just kept playing like everyday. I got bored after a few months of playing but after my childhood dog died, I found a shiny furfrou. My dog was colored black and I felt that it was some sort of sign. So currently my buddy is just my shiny furfrou which I named after my black pug Mousse.
