I have had dogs my whole life and have always had a very special and easy connection with dogs. From birth, my parents had a puppy Collie named Sadie who I grew up with. From middle school and on, my family has had at least two dogs in our house hold including collies, cocker spaniels, and several rescue dogs. Our family has been very active in fostering, transporting, and caring for shelter dogs that need a special home. During my sophomore year of college, I helped train a service puppy in training that was living with my roommates and me. I recently graduated from the Ohio State University and am currently living in Columbus. Back home, I love running with my very energetic miniature collie.
