Hope is an animal lover, especially of dogs. She has owned a dog for as long as I have known her (over 17 years) and treats them like a member of her family. She would be one of the first people I would ask to take care of my pets, if only she lived closer to me.

We call Hope the "dog whisperer". She's loved dogs since she was young and has this way to make dogs understand and obey her commands. She's trained every dog she's owned to obey as well as many impressive tricks. While a psych major at the university she attended, Hope and her classmates were given an assignment that involved dogs. Hope aced the assignment and was labeled the dog whisperer. Her instructers couldn't believe how successful she was in training other students dogs. She will be loving and nurtering to the dogs she walks. She has a soft place in her heart for animals.
