I have lived most of my life with dogs and taking care of dogs. As a kid, I even would read encyclopedias about them, because of how much I love dogs. I like to have a personal relationship with my dogs and give them a lot of affection as you can be certain I will with yours. I am very aware of their needs and giving them the attention they need. My pupper, Joe, is like my coworker. I feel that is important for dogs to have interaction with other dogs. Joe has had playmates his size as well as playmates more than triple his size! He enjoys meeting new dogs and playing with them. If you're dog prefers their space, Joe has proven to understand this after few hours
