I grew up with several different animals, but always a dog. Growing up would have been much different for me if I wasn't surrounded by animals. I still think about the dog I grew up with. She gave me a very warm place in my heart for animals and she showed me how rewarding it is to care for and give your best to an animal. I am normally quite indecisive, but every decision I have made thus far was because of a dog. The job I currently have excited me because during my interview there was a dog that greeted me. The apartment I lived in before ... I decided on because of the giant black Labrador that lived there; he whom I was responsible for as well because his owner worked odd hours most of the time. I want to continue making decisions that bring me closer to working with dogs!
