I've yet to meet a dog I didn't love--and vice versa. Perhaps it's b/c I'll play with them, pet and cuddle them and talk to them incessantly. Or perhaps it's the fact dogs are very perceptive and know who they can trust to treat them well. I will take your dog on brisk walks or runs, get up with them if they're bothered by a storm at night, and monitor their food, water and, if necessary, medication intake. I'm very protective and safety conscious; knowing full well you're entrusting me with the care and well-being of a beloved family member. I've owned dogs--ranging from Akitas to Elkhounds, Schnauzers and Springer Spaniels--most of my life and miss having one of my own now but a family member's allergies/asthma makes it impossible. You can rest assured I'll treat your dog as if s/he were my own.
