I have grown up my whole life with a dog in my family and took their basic needs when I was younger as my own responsibility. When my husband and I got a place of our own it only took us a week before we got our 10week old beagle. He's about as spoiled as a first child can be and not even a year later fell in love with rescuing a 6week old rottie Shepard mix from being euthanized. They both are spoiled rotten and I love spoiling them! I would treat anyone's fur babies like my own.
