I own 2 dogs myself and our roommate owns 1 dog. My oldest was abused when I got her. I had to work with her agression and mistrust when it came to other dogs and men. She has come along way. She loves to play with all dogs now, big and small. She currently lives with me any my boyfriend and our male roomate. My youngest is the sweetest and cutest, and trust me she knows this and uses it to her advantage. Both love attention, especially when it comes to belly pets.
