To be perfectly honest the only experience of dog caring I've done is my own but I can guarantee 100% that he is a very happy dog. I take him out for walks both long and short, pet and brush him almost daily to keep his coat nice and shiny, as he is getting older assist in giving him his medication and just flat out love and care for the little guy the best I can. I'm the type of guy that if I went to a party and there was a dog at the house, the moment I see it (and get the hosts permission) I am on the floor petting and playing so I can assure you that I would devote the same attention and care to any other dog.
