I have always felt comfortable around dogs. They seem to naturally take a liking to me. As long as I can remember I have had a dog and I have always been able to calm them down. I'm well aware that dogs can be stubborn but I am very patient with them. I also love playing with them. I love dogs so much that I wish I could have more, so this is the next best thing. Plus, this gives me the opportunity to meet various types of dogs (in case I decided I wanted another type of dog). My home is filled with dog love as well. My family and kids would be willing to help out when needed. My daughter is 17 and my son is 11 years old. They are very good with dogs as well, due to experience. They would be very helpful if we had dogs overnight.
