My family and I own 4 dogs. We originally only had two but we rescued two more from the shelter and one from the street. We are defiantly animal lovers. I enjoy walking them and playing with them at parks. To me it feels like they're more of my friends then just a pet. There's always a connection once you interact and bond with them just like any other person and that's an amazing feel to me. Knowing how they understand and listen and love you back shows more then just appreciation to me.
