I served in the Marine Corps for the last 5 years and received an honorable discharge, hopefully that can put you at ease as a starter. I have 2 80+ lb German Shepards and absolutely love dogs. I've had a dog since I was 13 and have always been the closest one to the dog. I always feel a special bond. Any kind of special care you want I will make happen. I treat my 2 as if they were my children and love them to death. I will give your pet the same love I do for my own and promise they will love me. I've never had someone's pet not love me. Even my parents new dog that I didn't know for her first 2 years of life learned to love me very quickly. I work as a full time k9 handler, my work dog does bomb detection so between work and home I am always with dogs.
