My first infatuation and unconditional love for animals started very young. I instantly was able to connect with these beautiful creatures that for centuries people have chose as companions and protecters, who I wish so much could say more than “bark!” I first knew I was in love with dogs when I got my first dog which was a pit bull, at age 13. I realized they do not judge, they do not care if your hair is messy or even if you have morning breath! Dogs made such an impact on my mental health because they are such consistent, and caring companions. Dogs know how to do nothing but love you unconditionally. If anything the word dog is a lack luster word and instead are called in my heart my family.
