Having been born into a family and neighborhood that loves dogs, I've had the opportunity to hangout with all types, large and small. My own dog, Buddy, a Pit-bull/Australian Sheppard, passed away one year ago, and I look forward to supplementing some of the good-old times I use to have hanging out with the animals I love to be around. What sets me apart from other dog lovers is that I've had an entire life's worth of experience with a variety of dogs, large and small, in different settings--whether it be at home, school, work, on camping trips, and even surfing.
