I am a dog lover, no doubt about it. Since a young age I have always been drawn to man's best friend. I love interacting with animals, pushing them to be active, and helping define their personality. Because let me tell you, dogs do have personalities! I am a psychology major and this past fall I had the opportunity to work in a canine lab at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The lab will be working with local dogs and their owners to evaluate dog's cognitive skills in order to better train them and evaluate their mental health. I loved this learning opportunity so much because the head of the lab was a professional do trainer and animal therapist! (In other words, I know that dogs really are people too!)
