I have a very soft place in my heart for dogs, ever since I was a "latch-key" boy who spent hours every afternoon visiting every friendly dog in my neighborhood. I understand and marvel at their ability to enhance our lives and even heal our bodies and hearts. Your beloved friend will be in capable, very caring hands! Folks frequently remark about how attracted to me, and safe with me their dogs feel. The canine/human relationship is a wonder of nature. I actually feel a deep reverence towards all of nature's creations, but dogs are in a class of their own, having been endowed with big hearts, intelligence, bravery, loyalty, and joyfulness. They truly are nicer souls than many humans! I will receive as much as I give when caring for your pet.
