Matt has been called a "dog whisperer" but many. He has always demonstrated a love for dogs. If you have a dog, you know how dogs can just tell who a real dog person is. And that's Matt!! He has had several dogs growing up and he is always the one they gravitate to. He has a great way with animals in general and dogs in particular. He knows when and how to be firm and commanding when needed but generally controls with his loving and generous demeanor. He has always watched my dogs and they love him to pieces!
