I've always loved dogs. Growing up I used to bring stray puppies home much to my moms frustration! ( this was in India where there are loads of them) and eventually mom bought us a puppy and unnamed her roxy! I loved taking her for walk giving her a bath and cleaning her bum after she would be done with her business...( yes I was that weird kid) lol since then I've had bubbles in China a lab and now I have Bruno which I adopted from animal shelter . I believe dog are able to have a connection with you at a level sometimes our human friends can't ! If in any don't ask my husband who never grew with pets and now loves dogs! All because of me!!:D
