Personally, I think every dog has a unique personality and once you kind of connect with them on that level it doesn't get anymore precious than that. I've read that to us a dog is part of our life, but to dogs we are their entire life. I knew this was true when I was gifted my first puppy at the age of 9. Ever since, its been easy for me to bond with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Half the time a nice belly scratch has been the best intruduction effect. I have a special place in my heart for all the beautiful furry friends. I am a mother of one beautiful Maltese and a grandma of three Maltese puppies. I very much enjoy each experience I have with any dog/puppy.
