We got our dog Maggie as a puppy when Ian was 6 years old, she is now 14, and the two have grown up side by side, more like siblings than dog and owner/caregiver. He has always shown her nothing but the utmost in love and has also been a committed participant in her care, from daily feeding and walks, to taking her to vet appointments and grooming when needed. In addition, Ian is drawn to all animals, and they are drawn to him, we can't visit friends with cats without having them immediately curl up on him for loves (even though he is completely allergic to them). Ian has also held several jobs in which he was required to demonstrate a high level of customer service, the feedback he's been given is that he clearly demonstrates a strong care and concern for not only customers, but also his co-workers. He will definitely make an excellent caregiver for Rover!!
