We are an animal loving family. We just lost our 12 year old lab who we miss very much. My son loves dogs and they would have attention 24/7. Your dog would be treated like a human ;). We are outside a lot of the day where we would play fetch and go on walks with your dog. Our home is very pet friendly and we are used to having them on the couch and bed. I am a stay at home mom and we are at home all day.
