I am a dog loving native new yorker and have had 5 dogs in my life. My first 2 were named oscar, who was an American Pitbull , and Ms. Brown, who was a Pug, and I loved them dearly. They died when I was young due to old age. The next one I had was named Mucchi, he was a Shih tzu, and was not actually mine, my aunt had given him to my family to raise and we ended up keeping him for 3 years until my aunt came and got him. My next two were named Angel, who was a Stafford Shire Terrier, and Bentley, who was a yorkie and we got them at different times, Angel first, then Bentley. When bentley turned 4 we gave him to my mothers best friend so he could breed with his maltese. Out of all my dogs, Angel was my favorite, we had a connection that surpassed anything, I knew she loved me as much as I loved her. We had to give her away when my parents divorced because my mother did not have room for her in our apartment and my father had moved back in with his parents. I miss angel everyday, and I love dogs. I love playing with them taking care of them being around them. Unfortunately, my mother has entered into a new relationship, and he does not like dogs. But I would give anything to have the unconditional love and acceptance dogs bring into peoples lives.
