My house, backyard and car are very dog friendly. I've been around animals all my life and haven't ever met one I couldn't get along with. I can be both strong and tender and get regular comments about my dog's happy nature and behavior especially with other dogs. He's a lover not a fighter. My yard is big enough to play fetch which I do 5 or 6 times a day with my dog. Through grade school I was definitely going to be a vet... until I did a "ride around" with a family friend who was a thoroughbred horse vet. He did the same thing all day and to put it simply it was not what I expected so I changed my focus to becoming a chef... that changed later too.
