When I think of Luke as a pet owner and caregiver to animals I think of a best-friend relationship. You don't just hangout with your best friend to "feel good" or to pass time or for some financial benefit, you do it out of love. Your spend time with them out of love. You care for them out of love, because you've bonded. That's just what Luke does and does so with ease. He truly bonds with animals, particularly dogs. I can't articulate into words the heart of gold Luke has as a person, but one of the many ways it shines forth is at the way I see him treat his dog and other dogs around. Luke is gentle in nature, which you can quickly tell even by first impression, yet he has the fervency one needs to take heed to the details and the small print of each situation. He has grown up around dogs, had many dogs throughout life, and loved all kinds of breeds, each leaving a paw imprint on his heart. He has a very big heart for dogs. I would recommend him for dog-sitting in a heartbeat. You will not regret trusting your dog(s) to his care.
