I’m very connected with dogs, they are lot like people so it’s always easy to understand them for me. I have my own dog who I would give my life for any day. And I have left her with family for a vacation my family went on. But even leaving her with family we chose carefully who we left her with could be able to 1) give her attention 2) love her while I’m gone 3) comfort her like I would and 4) be able to understand her. So I understand the need to pick someone specific and want the best for your pet especially when they are so attached to you. I have been there and thankful even if it’s family we did chose well. I want for your dog what I want for mine which is the best.
