Between the ages of 8 and 10, I owned a pitbull (Coco) and cared for her in the morning and after school while my parents were away at work. We would go for runs in the park and I would always walk her and let her play with the kids neighborhood. Through college, I've been able to build lasting relationships with the dogs of my college friends because we believe in fostering all-inclusive family environments. I make sure to spend time with each of their dogs and make a connection.
