I've always been surrounded by dogs when I was growing up, so I have strong knowledge about basic dog love and care. I've had dogs ranging in sizes as small as a yorkie, to as large as a lab and am comfortable with larger. I've had dogs from as young as 8 weeks old to as old as 5+. I have no problem and am not allergic to any other type of pet and would most likely feel comfortable with them as well. I have always loved and appreciated the love and joy that not only a dog will give you, but they way a pet in general would give you. I've been surrounded by animals since the day I was born and would not wish to live any other way.
