I have always loved animals, especially dogs. I was fortunate enough to grow up with dogs in my house. I have experience watching dogs of all sizes because I used to watch my friends dogs when I was a house sitter in high school and early college. I am a cancer survivor, and one of the things that helped me get through my treatment were the daily visits from the therapy dogs. Those dogs made a huge difference in my life and I would like to make a difference in theirs.
