I have always had a dog in family from my Childhood. My first puppy was white Pomeranian was 13 years and was part of family before I was born. So I grew up playing and sleeping with it. Today we have 3 dogs in our house German Shepherd mix, golden labrador and pug. I am most attached with my lab, we talk to each other in a way and very affectionate with one another. If he wants to walk somewhere, he will hold my wrist in his mouth and pull me indicating he wants something or wants to go out. He wants me to put my hand on him for him to sleep. I find pure joy in puppies just like babies, they are just so loving.
