I have known Andy for several years now. He has been an outstanding friend in the human sense as well as with animals. We have mutual friends who would foster dogs from the humane society. When they were unable to take care of the dog due to certain obligations, he and I would go over and fill in. I saw mutual enjoyment between Andy and the dog whenever they would play together. Often times we would go to the park as the space at our friends house was limited. Andy was very good at making sure the dogs had the opportunity to be social but were also respectful of other dogs/owners. Oddly enough, the dog was often more tired at the end of the day than Andy was. I highly recommend Andy as a caregiver for your dog!
