I have been a dog lover since I was a child. We have had dogs in the family from my own home, my grandparents, my aunt, and my friends. I have always looked at them as more than just a pet, but as family. I currently do not have a dog, but I have cared for the dogs of family and friends by allowing them to stay at my place, feeding them, taking them for walks, and playing with them. These are things that I greatly enjoy from spending time with dogs.
