I've cared for countless dogs over the years, including but not limited to my own. My dog, Marciano, has been my best-friend for the better half of the last 12 years. Most people think he's only 6, because of the energy and spunk he has... which I feel stems from the active and fun lifestyle he's been provided. He was a rescue from the streets at a mere 4 weeks old. The rest, as they say, is history. Life changing and oh so happy history. As an update, I recently lost my boy a few months ago, and I feel that spending my time productively helping other pets when needed is something that will prove mutually beneficial. I am the type of person who will stop a conversation mid-sentence to point out a dog and say 'oh look, a puppy' regardless of how old the good boy may be.
