Living several hours from my original home and missing my family dog who is like my little brother, I know what it's like to be away from the dog you love for any amount of time. Because of this, taking care of another's dog I would treat very much like I would my own. I have always loved dogs and will often go to the SPCA just to play with the dogs they have there...if only I lived in a place that allowed for one of my own.
