I have such a love for animals but dogs and I just have a soul connection. I do believe that they are family members they just happen to have four paws instead of two hands. They truly give nothing but unconditional love. I do understand they need trained in a loving way for basic things such as potty training. My commitment is to care for other dogs as I care for my own. Lots of love attention belly rubs ear scratching and talking to them so they get comfortable and feel safe and secure. The greatest thing we can do as people is be a voice for our pets since they are not able to communicate by speaking in terms we can understand. Love dogs.
