Brigid is an intuitive, responsible and most importantly FUN dog-lover. She is actually the reason why I adopted my dog, Lucy (a shih tzu- cavaliar mix). As soon as she saw us together, she told me we needed each other..and she was right! Although she is exceptionally good at handling larger sized dogs due to her experience with her family's golden retrievers, she is equally as caring and affectionate for smaller dogs (Lucy is about 18 pounds). She takes care of Lucy when I am traveling, and although I hate to admit it, I know Lucy is sad to leave her when I come home. Your dog will be in the best care with Brigid, no doubt....Just be prepared for your dog to completely fall in love with her!
