I have been around dogs since I was born. From birth to 2 years old my family owned Sebastian, a Cocker Spaniel, then from 2 years old until 14 years old we had a black lab named Max. From 14 years old up until now my family has 2 dogs, a chocolate lab named Buddy, and a yellow lab named Bella. Dogs have been a big part of my entire life and I have grown to respect their gentle, fun nature. I have been through the early, pee-in-the-house stage, up until the "lounge around and wait for food" stage. Understanding the necessities that dogs need is a big part of being an owner, and I think throughout my life I have picked up on what is essential for them. My compassion will be conveyed onto any dog that I come into contact with, which will make them happy and safe.
