My family's been committed to bringing in shelter dogs, and it brought so much love in to our home. Then my aunt opened up a doggy hotel in her home in San Francisco, and being there, in a little house with an average of ten dogs at any time, it helped me to realize that I could help out dog owners in my area. I am happy about the extra money, but also about the companionship. I miss my dogs back home, and this gives me an opportunity to spend more time around animals.
