I am a college student at UC Santa Cruz. I have lived in Los Angeles for 10 years and I love the city and since I have my own dog, Bear who is 2 years old, I know where to take him on walks. I’ve had him since he was 1 month old. I have learned many things about dogs through him. I know what not to feed them and what is okay for them to eat. I have friends who have dogs and I’ve learned that every dog has their own personality and that sometimes it takes time for them to warm up to you. I consider dogs a blessing, they do more for us than we do for them. They can cure a broken heart, and many other things. As a dog owner I know how much your dog means to you and I would never let anything happen to them. I once read a quote that said “every dog owner says they have the best dog, and none of them at wrong”.
