I believe dogs can sense when someone is a true dog lover. I'm the person that always greets dogs on the street, asking to pet them and say hi. Most of the time, dogs come up to me and when I meet them for the first time, they don't leave my side! I've never met a dog I don't like, but I am quite partial to dachshunds and other small breeds. I've grown up with dogs and know how to care for them - emotionally and physically. In fact, I can't remember a time when there wasn't a dog in my family. I will treat your dog as my own and love and care for it unconditionally. Dogs are truly members of our family and yours will be no exception
