I did have a Great Dane for 9 years.I love all animals and most animals love me. I have yet to find a dog that doesn't love me. My first client's dog was deaf. He couldn't hear me come through the door. I would wait for him to wake up so he did not bark, because his apartment was above a real estate office. My old neighbors have a little puppy that I walked everyday around the block at 7:30 a.m. while she was away for 3 weeks. I also stayed with him during the days until about 8 p.m when a friend would come and sleep with him. I had a Great Dane for a good 13 years before she passed away. I currently have 3 cats that range from 6 to 8 years old.
