I consider dogs as part of the family. I understand that they are not "kids" but, they certainly are to be loved and cared for. In my family we always had two dogs and they have varied in size. We had german shepherds, chows, Chihuahuas,retrievers, and Pitbulls. They all have distinct personalities and and energy levels. I love all dogs regardless if they're yappy or giants who think they're lap dogs. I believe that dogs much likes us need to be allowed to around and burn off energy. I don't believe that there is such thing a violent breed of dog. They all have they're own personality and are man's best friend. I enjoy taking care of dogs and spending time with them and always give them constant restroom breaks and play with them. I take care of a dog as if it was mine(meaning they will be spoiled).
