I have grown up with animals my whole life and i cant see myself without an animal. I have two dogs of my own and when the one had to get surgery i made sure he was comfortable and watched him when he went outside. All my life all different animals have always been attached to me. I believe animals need just as much love as we do. My dogs are people not animals! I am apart of several different dog rescue websites and i have donated hours of my time to help rescue animals from unloving homes and get them off the streets. Animals ultimately make me a happier person. Its said that animals make you live longer i believe that 100 percent !
