There’s few things I love more than walking in the great outdoors and dogs. It’s been that way since childhood, when my family had a dog that was very dear to us. Playing and going on adventures with our dog, named Zeena, was something I looked forward to every day. She had so much character. When she died, it truly felt as if a family member had been lost. Now, living in the city, I don’t yet have the resources to raise a dog of my own, but I still savor the opportunity to interact with dogs and other pets as much as I can. It brings me great joy to be able to continue doing what I love: spending time with dogs, man’s best friend.
