Grant is my son and - when he lived at home - was the most dependable of our 3 kids when it came to our dogs. We always had a dog and Grant would be the only one to make sure they were getting attention, food and walks - without us even asking! Each of our dogs gravitated to him, usually parking it on his bed when he was studying in his room. I know he will have his own dog whenever he's in a situation that allows it. Until then, anyone that uses Grant to help with their pets will get a young man that I know will treat their dog as if it they were his own.
