I will go the extra mile for any animal. If I know a dog that likes to play fetch, I will be on the lookout for tennis balls to surprise the little (or not so little) guy. I grew up with dogs in my life and am confident in my dog reading skills. I am an athlete, so my body is able to withstand the stress that a bigger dog may bring. Long walks are preferred. Whenever I am invited to a social event, I find myself wanting to go pet the dog rather than jump right into socializing. Dogs are good judges of character, so you should leave the decision up to your dog. They are part of the family and should be given a say. I'm confident I can win over your animals approval.
