I've never had my own dog since my dad is allergic, but I've grown up around many dogs. My grandparents have had medium to small dogs I'd frequently take care of, and my aunt has had medium to huge dogs I have all loved! I frequently do basic dog care for family and friends right now including walks, playing around, prepping their food and water, and even given orally-taken medications. I'll drop in to take walks through the canyons, around the block, or just playing in the backyard.
