I have owned large breeds and small breeds all of my life. Currently we have a Boston terrier, but in the past we have also owned Bull/English Mastiffs. I have a lot of patience. I love all breeds of dogs as if they were my own, and treat them as such. I know what dogs give back to human companions daily, and the interaction and the trust that a boarder has with a dog, is HUGE for maintaining a disposition. I grew up in rural Maine. My mother taught us from a young age, that God loves all creatures great and small, and so shall we. I indeed do. Dogs are truly man's best friend for a reason. A genuine bond and trust formed by affection, touch, control, and reason.......and to come home at the end of a long day to have that face and tail? It's worth everything.
