My entire life has been lived with animals, which includes dogs and cats of all sizes and shapes. I have run an exotic wildlife sanctuary which included both native and exotic hoofstock and was sanctuary to large guardian and herding working dogs until a suitable home could be found for them. My years in the sancuary included 13 great Pyrenees dogs, 2 Tree Walker Hounds, 2 Newfoundlands, 1 Dobie, 2 Great Danes and a St Bernard who spent their lives in the sanctuary roaming free over acreage and overseeing the other animals safety. Life without animals in it must be a dull life. I choose a life with animals.
