I have two dogs of my own and grew up with dogs throughout my life. I have two dogs that I have consistently watched for the past 4 years, anywhere from letting them out and feeding them to watching them for a weeks time. I love dogs and I have a huge passion for dogs. I think dogs are truly a man's best friend. Every dog has a different personality and I think it's important to figure out your dog's and what they enjoy. What makes a good companion to a dog is the ability to adapt to what the dog needs in that moment. As much as dogs make us as humans feel safe we need to make the dog feel safe as well.
