I have never had a dog of my own, however I think this just reinforces my love for them even more, as I treat every dog I meet with the love and care I would have for my own dog. My relatives are all dog owners, ranging from my grandfathers Dalmatian to my Uncle's German Shepherd and I honestly don't mind the breed, I just love dogs in general and love being around them. I am also a musician and acoustic guitarist and I love playing and singing to dogs, especially older ones as they tend to lull off when I play certain classical pieces. I also used to volunteer for an Animal Conservation group back in Singapore known as ACRES (Animal Concerns Research and Education Society) which helped try and educate people on the importance of treating animals with respect and compassion .
