I love dogs and have always had a dog since I was little. I enjoy taking them for walks and playing with them. I'm happy to feed them and give them medicine if necessary. I have experience with small, medium, and large dogs. I also don't mind cats. I think having pets is really beneficial to one’s physical and mental health. Physically, having a dog helps you to get more exercise by walking everyday and even going on hikes or runs. Mentally, having a dog or cat forces you to get out of your own mind and focus on something else because you have another being relying on you to feed, clean, and protect it. Service animals have a special place in my heart because I’ve seen what a great help they can be for all kinds of people who need them.
