Being a former owner of a Great Dane (Kai passed in Dec 2016), I am very familiar with large dog breeds and how to handle them on walks, around other people/dogs. We also own a big/small dog-friendly vacation rental in St. Pete Beach, so we are always welcoming new dogs to our home and love to cater to those traveling with their best 'fur'ends! Emotionally, I am not ready to have a dog of our own again as no dog can replace our Kai, but I'd love to help out others who have dogs and get my dog fix in at the same time :-) I do understand that not everyone can take their dog when they travel, so I am here to help them.
