I love animals, dogs have been one of my favorite companions and best of friends. I grew up around dogs at a young age, fortunate enough to have a home where I can learn and love an animal other than a human being and share and appreciate some of the sentiments regarding my own circumstances and problems as one that's not just mine for the taking. Having a dog by your side that can judge you not for your choice in words but callousness in character was one the most important if not meaningful experiences I've had in my life. I appreciate every waking moment I have had to own and love a dog if not my own for their unwavering commitment and generous appreciation for the time that they have to be with us.
