Dogs are my best friends! I have a dog myself his name is Bart and he is one year old. He fills my life and my heart with love and happiness . I am home all the time so your family member will be entertained the whole time , be taking to dog park to play if you allow that, bath etc... he/she will be treated like a family member with love and respect . He / she will be having my dog as a companion full time so they keep each other busy. Lots of walking around . I can provide updates every day with camera as well . So your dog can see and hear you like you are together! Thank you .
