I have raised dogs since I was 8 years old with my first Caeser a border collie, the only time in my life that I did not have a dog was my first year of marriage in an apartment. Once we were able to purchase a home, I had a dog. I raised three sons who love all animals especially dogs. Right now I have an 8 year old golden retriever - loves people and all animals. My middle son rescued a mix dog outside of Atlanta, Georgia who was living in the woods and abandoned at 5 months old. He brought him to me to take care of when he went on vacation to Hawaii along with his golden retriever only after a week of rescuing him. Loved the activity of the three dogs and it is now two years later and my son still has his rescue Bruce, who loves my son. Obi unfortunately died three weeks ago at the age of 13 years - he had a wonderful life.
