I would rely on any dog just as they rely on me. I trust dogs with my life. No dog is imperfect to me. They all deserve the love, care, and support from each individual. Because at the end of the day, the only one who will stick by your side, will be your dog no matter what. I have taken care of dogs all sorts of breeds my whole life. Each with their very own personality. Each with their very own way of doing things. I've studied dogs through my experience. And from what I've learned they aren't different at all. They are as who we see ourselves in a way. They feel just as we do. Sadness, happiness, anger, excitement, etc. The only way we're much apart, is language, but even then they try. Just for us. And we try, just for them. I work for a cable company, and every time I come home the first thing I look forward to is spending quality time with my dog 'Melody'. Just a 5 month old pup who has energy for days, and I'll use all of mine just for her when I come home late after hours. It could be 4pm. It could be 7pm. I would never turn my back on my dog or any for that matter.
