The nature of the relationship between companion dogs and their owners has important impact on the effect of life for both dog and owner, my experience from being a dog owner for more then 10 years has taught many things. Every dog has their own special trait and imperfections but they all need the same love and respect we give one another. I just got a 5 month old puppy and I treat him as if he were my own child. I tend to grow very close bonds with each furry friend that's I come across. I enjoy long walks and the company each dog provides me with. I will also treal your best friend as if it were my own because I know I would want the same for my puppy.
