I've always had dogs and cats in my life growing up since I was 3. I've helped my current boxer give birth to 2 litters and also have cared for the puppies until they were strong and healthy enough to find a home. I've had about 12 dogs I can count that grew up with up me as mine and the family's pet. Between my girlfriend and I who is also a dog person, dogs seem to lean towards me most of the time. Don't tell her that she's on here too :)
