Hey there, my name is Gustav and I'm a UW-Madison student. I live with my family in Madison. Regarding my own pets, well, my family never wanted one (except for a guinea pig, which my sister took care of). My dad is allergic to cats, and we could never agree on who will take care of a dog the most. However, I grew up with, and still have friends and family who have had many dogs and cats. As a kid I spent a lot of time on my grandparents farm, where I learned to take care of their three dogs and four cats. My best friend has two dogs, for whom I care for with him and help feed and walk. My aunt is very knowledgable about dogs and is active in a human society; she has a small dog which I see frequently and have learned a bit more. My brother has also adopted a small dog, which I took care of for a short time when he visited us. I've had some experience with dogs of all sizes, and I love all of them!
