I've always loved animals and consider them to be as important to a family as any of its members, they deserve all the love and attention they can get and I believe it's okay for them to receive it from other people when their owners are busy because sometimes life gets in the way for us humans. It's very rare for me and a dog or cat not to get along, even the ones that shy away from human contact I can usually make a relationship with given some time together. I've had my own dogs, cats, and lived with birds, lizards and snakes. I can be very persistent and have been successful in teaching my own dogs new things and love seeing what any animal is capable of.
