Why I Said 'No' to a Dog

In this episode of The Authentic Edge, Toks Aruoture shares a surprising story from her childhood—one that explains why she’s always said no to having a dog, despite her children’s persistent pleas.

 

From growing up surrounded by pets to the formative memories that still influence her today, Toks reflects on how past experiences shape our present-day choices—often in ways we don’t consciously realise.

 

It’s a light-hearted yet thought-provoking reminder that sometimes, our “no” carries an entire backstory.
