I am a middle school teacher and was raised with dogs; usually 3-7 at a time. I also volunteer with an animal rescue as well as rescued the dog I have now, whom I adore beyond words and consider him the love of my life! I am fond of all sizes and breeds; I've had Beagles, "mutts", Cattle Dogs and right now have a Pit Bull who has me wrapped around his paw (he's the one I rescued). All animals bring joy to our lives, but dogs...well...dogs are the best! I carry water, leads, and treats in my car just on the off chance I will see a lost dog. I know how much our pets mean to us and will treat them as my own.
