I’ve owned animals since I was 15. My kids joke that it’s my dogs world and we’re all just living in it. I have over 42 years of experience. I’ve had 10 dogs (5 of them being German Shepards) and 5 cats in my 57 years, and I’ve loved every single one of them like they were my kids until they crossed the rainbow bridge. My grandkids are all in school now, so my dog Dakota and I have all the love and time in the world to spend with your Dog!
