I have had a dog as a part of family ever since I was born. Dogs have been a large backbone in my life, and I love being able to play and bond with them. They are friends you can go to for comfort, and relax with whenever. Walking and or playing with a dog is a very important part of bonding with it because there is lots of trust involved in the two activities. I have also been an active volunteer at the ASCPA near my home for the past 7 years because animals are another one of my great passions. Overall, I believe that animals (especially dogs) are an essential part of everyones lives, and they should be cared for just as so!
