Dog owner for 10+ years, cared for multiple dogs at once numerous times. I would rather go on a walk and run around with dogs than sit on the couch watching TV. I believe that each dog is an individual, just like people, and require individual needs, which I am more than willing to fulfill ( i.e. longer walks, playing, attention, bathing, pampering, etc. ). I believe dogs make people's lives better through unconditional love and a judgment free atmosphere.
