A friend introduced me to Hannah 3 years ago, and it didn't take long to discover her passion for animals, especially dogs. In fact, less than a week after we first met, Hannah invited me over to play with Cassidy, her family's brown lab. I immediately sensed Cassidy's affection for Hannah, displayed by attentiveness, dog kisses, and a happy tail-wag. There is no question Hannah is an experienced pet-owner with a knack for becoming any dog's friend, and I'm sure each dog she's met would agree. Hannah is perceptive and trustworthy, qualities that dogs should deserve from their caregiver.

I am Hannah's father, so I am admittedly biased. That said, we live in the country outside of Richmond. We have always had dogs, cats, horses, and ducks. Occasionally, we have had turkeys and chickens. Not only does Hannah love all living things (with the possible exception of snakes), they love her back. Simply put, animals have always trusted her, no doubt because they sense (correctly) that she loves them and will take care of them.
