In my life, my family and I have owned a German Shepard/Rottweiler mix, Chihuahua, Pitbull, and currently a Beagle. I'm always taking my Beagle everywhere with me. I love the company of pets. Taking my dog to the beach to walk, or regular walks around the neighborhood. I've cared for plenty of my friends dogs. Between watching them for a few hours to a couple months. Feeding, bathing, exercising, ect. Majority of dogs I've watched were friendly and off the leash trained. I would let me dog and their dog run free around the house chasing each other until they would get tired. Then bring them inside, have some food and water, then watch a movie with them. I've also drove to friends houses to take out their dogs while they are at work to feed them and keep them company for an hour or so. Wouldn't matter if I drove an hour away or 5 minutes down the street.
