I have had a dog since I was 8 years old. My mother is blind and she had a guide dog, and I use to take care of her because my mother couldn't always take care of her. I would clean after Tina, and feed her as well. We would take her on walks and play with her frequently. I now have 2 dogs that I currently take care of. My dogs are part of the family, and I treat them just like I would want to be treated.
