This past summer me and my dog were hiking up in the rattlesnake when she suddenly had an allergic reaction and could not walk or move. I then had to pick her up in my arms and run 3 miles back down to the entrance of the trailhead and get her to the vet as soon as possible. By the way she is 35 pounds and not a light dog. This hopefully gives you an example that I take great responsibility for the animals that are in my care. I will know the dogs limits and boundaries and will be able to assist them in any way possible. I have trained my dog from the time she was a puppy to becoming a great household dog and a great dog in the outdoors. I also have experience in administering medicine .
