When you bring a dog into your life, you become that dog's entire world. Even for the brief time it takes to walk a dog, you become a centerpiece a dog's existence. Acknowledging this, I make sure the dog always comes first, down to making sure the dog walks on the inside of the sidewalk (with me between him/ her and the cars). In with this aside, I love dogs - sometimes more than people. Dogs are essentially humans that don't (or can't) lie. It's also a plus that I'm a larger guy, so I can easily handle your bigger dogs (Great Danes, Bull Mastiffs, St. Bernards).
