I am 52 years old and retired early. I am unmarried and my dog, BRUNO is the love of my life. He cheers me up each day. He is a 10 year old EnglishBulldog, and the 5th one I have owned. I come from a family of pet lovers and in particular military and service dog lovers. My mother died of Cancer, and she required a service animal. I lived in Mexico for 3 years after working full time as consultant for the FBI and SEC. A task I recently stopped completely. In Mexico I looked after numerous dogs of Americans that have second homes there and dont always like the stress of travelling with a pet. My nephew has his own dog sitting and walking business in Philadelphia that he loves. Bottom line is I came back to Florida to be closer to family. I have plenty of time on my hands and am very patient with pets. I also spent 9 months in 2011 on a charity service for the David Sheldrick Foundation in Africa that aids in the nuturing of orphaned rhinos whose mothers have been poached.
