I grew up in a big family were we couldn't afford to have pets. My friends always had a dog or a cat. Everyday after school i'd go to their house and play with their dog and when they used to go on a vacation i would bring the dog to my house and play with him. Since i was 10 years old i was around puppies, dogs and other animals but didn't have my own. Where we lived there was a lot homeless dogs/Puppies... I used to love taking them food, playing with them and wash them. When we moved to U.S. i had to get my own puppy. Now I own a large, very beautiful and a super smart German Shepherd. Plus every time i'm with a dog i try to train them new tricks!
