I lived with Michael and his yellow lab, Willy, in his house as a roommate. Mike took Willy with him everywhere he could. Willy was the happiest, well-behaved dog. When Willy tore his achilles, Mike did not hesitate to pay for the surgery he required and then did everything necessary to nurse the dog back to health. He loves animals and allowed me to get a kitten when I was living there. He adored the cat, too! Beyond being great with animals, Mike himself is an incredible person: selfless, always looking to help friends and strangers alike, generous with his time, honest, responsible and hard working. I would not hesistate to let Mike watch or walk my pet. They couldn't be in better hands.
