I've had several dogs over 50 years.I treat dogs with love and affection.They can relief stress and can make you smile.They show you unconditional love and I show them the same in return. They bring joy and happiness to humans. I would like to say more but I'm not very good on computers. I would spend more time with them then on computers. I've taken in all sorts and sizes of dogs in my life time. I can not stand a dog to see homeless. I always feed them on time. I believe to get respect and love from the dog you have to treat them the same way believe me they will know. I find that dogs are highly intelligent and rewarding. That's all I can say.
