I had my own dog for thirteen years, since she was just a puppy. A standard poodle named Aimee, she adored people and never ever stopped barking. Although she's no longer with us, I continue to love dogs, maybe more than people though I like people too. As a freelance filmmaker, my schedule is very flexible and often very open. To fill that gap by taking care of dogs seems like an obvious connection I am surprised I didn't think of before. I have never met a dog I didn't like. I have plenty of experience from walking Aimee, a responsibility which usually fell on me, primarily because no one else was willing to do it. I don't know why - I find dog-walking a refreshing way to relax the mind.
