Growing up, I had many dogs, including one that we took away from our neighbor, after finding out he was abused. He was my right hand man and to this day still my best friend. He now lives with my parents in Colorado, and being here, I love the feeling of having a companion. Though I cannot have a dog of my own, I’d love to be able to care for others, feed them, care for them, and most importantly, play with them and give them the stimulation they need.
