I have such a deep, loving connection with animals. I can't tell you the amount of times someone has said 'wow, he/she only will act that way around me' or "I've never seen him/her instantly love a stranger' when they are referring to how I interact with their pet, both cats and dogs. I have two cats and a one-year-old Labrador retriever. I also have volunteered on and off at a local animals shelter where I worked with both cats and dogs, all different breeds, sizes, and ages.
