jessica has been an animal loving person since she was 6 years old. We would go camping and she would set out food for the wild animals. One Christmas she even was surprised, we thought that since she was now old enough to care for a dog that she get one. She was so happy that tears were streaming. She named that dog Christmissy. Later that name was shortened to Missy. Though Missy since has past, Jessica has always been loving towards any animals she has had any encounters with. one time she was walking her brothers Alaskan Malamute and another large dog attacked and Jessica put herself between the attacking dog and the dog she was walking. Jessica when it involves animals likes to play with the animal testing the animals specific traits and she would also read about a specific animal so that she would know how it should be handled. Jessica is a real dog lover. It is a picture worth a thousand words when she walks, pets, cuddles, nurtures or plays with a dog because you see her having as much interest/fun as the dog itself.
