I had my sons companion for 13 years, jack, he was family! I kept him even after my sons passing last year. Then jack passed in August, hurt just as much as losing my son. I will treat any animal like i want to be treated, like they are human, cause in my mind they are!! Dogs are my passion, they bring happiness and love to your family! My house/apartment is dog friendly! I grew up with dogs as a child, loved every minute of it! I am helping an elderly couple right now with their 2 dogs, i look forward to it every day. I walk them, feed them and give them treats, they love me and i love them! Dogs are wonderful companions!
