My name is Sam and I am working on a degree in Biology that is heavily focused animals and conservation. To begin, I grew up with dogs and I currently have three dogs living with my parents. Two american bulldogs and a beagle, so the size of the dog won't scare me away. Aside from that, I volunteered at a doggie daycare/boarding business in Pittsburgh, PA, while I was in high school. The business has since closed. However, a part of my job was to walk the dogs for 15-20 mins, and I even owned/bred snakes when I was going up. Finally, I got a chance to visit South Africa this summer and worked with animals such as cheetahs, elephants, African wild cats, monkeys, etc.
