I am a dog lover, I have had dogs all my life since I was a little girl . I have a Cane Corso her name is Acqua is part if the family. We run and play and even watch TV together (she sits in her bed :) ) There is a really nice walk near the house that could walk with the dog ,I do all the time with Acqua. I understand dog body language. I know exactly how you love your dog and how important it is for you ,I know that feeling ,when I need to travel I am very careful choosing who is going to take care of my dog I am a responsible person and your pet would receive superior care. trust me, I am a professional :)
