Growing up I always begged for a dog but was constantly denied. My grandma only let me take care of the neighborhood cats and we got two of our own. Cats are great but I wanted a dog and I knew I had to have one, I love dogs! I went from having no experience with a dog and never having had one to having five! I'd have to say I'm pretty experienced in all things dogs at this point. Cats enjoy my presence too, I'll take care of yours if they let me. My first 15 years of life I took care of cats and I've devoted the past three taking care of dogs of all sizes from a min pin to a pitbull terrier with my girlfriend. I'd say I have the proper experience to care for and protect your furry friend.
