Mary is one of the most caring and empathetic people I've ever met. She has a deep love for all animals and cares greatly for them. I know that she has kept chickens in the past and a few years back rescued a budgie she found in her drive and now keeps it as a pet. Over this summer just gone she helped me nurse a baby bird back to health after it was injured by a cat. She also has helped care for my pets (cats, chickens and guinea pigs) in smaller ways, feeding them playing with them, helping keep my cats calm when they were stressed or afraid and she has frequently brought them treats and toys. She is also a very attentive person, especially with animals able to read and understand their personalities, almost intuitively known what any given animal might want or need at a given time for instance she is able to tell almost instantly whether Brian (the aforementioned budgie) wants his mirror or his bath or if he just wants to fly around the room. She would be the perfect person to care for dogs, as she has a great deal of love for them and would, i am certain, be attentive to each dogs individual needs.
