I pay attention to how my fur babies react to people. Liam is one of the few people who when they come to my home my dogs don't bark at and instead whine for and want to get closer to and play with. Liam is the person my Border Collie wants to interact with and Liam has no problem getting down on the ground with him and giving him scratches or running around the backyard with him (more so than my own kids even do). I think animals are very good judges of character and mine completely trust Liam, as do I. I think he would make a wonderful addition to your team and would have no problems taking care of and being responsible for other peoples beloved furry, scaly or feathered family members.
