I can personally attest to how much Ed loves animals. We adopted our dog Bandit last year and he treats him like a son. Ed always has time to give him special attention, hugs and pets--he even has a special voice he uses to greet him when we wake up in the morning or he comes home from work. Even though he is 6'4", before Bandit who is half lab/ pit bull, Ed had two Chihuahuas and when he was a bachelor his best friend was Porpose, also a little Chihuahua. He has also has experience breeding Dalmatians and along with being a fire fighter, he is a member of TARVA, a special task force that performs emergency rescue when horses or cattle are involved in auto accidents or caught on ice. I can say that your pets could not be in better hands.
