I have always owned a dog my entire life, not because my parents had them...because I needed them. I think not only every owner chooses their doggy best friend but their dog also chooses their human. We need them as much as they need us. I will take your dog for walks, watch tv with your dog, give your dog a bath and most importantly, be a friend to your dog. I just moved to this area a few months ago and I used to go to animal shelters to walk the dogs on a regular basis and I miss doing this. I have a full time job in the area but it allows me to come home as much as I need to so this will be a perfect fit for me to be able to take care of other pups in the area.
